I took it slow and was able to reach about 378mhz core. 285mhz memory.
1 strait jump mighta blew it.
I decided just to use 300mhz core and normal 270mhz memory for normal useage.. whilst i swap to the 360-370mhz core when i wanna play a game like Splinter Cell at max everything. (heh that game would still run slow at that 1280x1024 res with max settings unless i had overclocked core)

Those are totally safe settings. So, break it down, dude, what is the percent performance increase yield from your overclocking?

Oh, and I consider 1280X1024 an oddball resolution. A true 3:2 is 1280X960--much better for gaming.

Do you have a 17" moniter?
1280X1024 looks better than 1280X960 on mine cause there's like 2 black bars(left and right sides) when i use 1280X960 in games.

Nope, I have a 21 inch FD trinitron multiscan. One badass monitor!

Did you install the "custom resolutions" at X hertz in the Omega install?
