So I read on the box and online that this card can be overclocked. I going to use Powerstrip to OC it. But What should I OC it to?

I'd use ATi Tool, and I have no idea what it will overclock to. Just open ATi tool, set the 3d renderer going scanning for artifacts, and have a fiddle with the clocks. If you get nice little random patterns appearing here and there you're pushing it too far.

Bear in mind though that old cards tend to die easily if overclocked - I bought a 9600XT off eBay, had a fiddle with the clocks, and a day later I had to send it back...artifacts like crazy even in Windows at stock speeds. If you kill the card it's your own fault.
