Default New Vid Card, I'm in Love!

Well I have given up on Nvidia cards forever! I just got a new ATI 9600XT and I flockin Love it!! I can't believe how much better my games run now, I have been listening to you guys brag about how good those ATI's were so I took the chance.
Now the question, what do you use to OC the ATI cards? I have the new drivers and I didn't see much change with the box checked to run the card at the fastest speed in the driver, so what would you guys suggest to do to the card?
Thanks
Hunter

If you are using Rade3d with the Catalyst drivers that have the OVERDRIVE feature in them the GPU will be locked. All you will be able to adjust will be the memory. Not sure about powerstrip didnt try it. I got 3800ish 3dmark03 with a celeron. I did OC the memory.

Try using the omega version of the newest cats. Google for them. They have their own overcloking built into them.
