How to Overclock a videocard?

would it hurt if i tried to overclock my nvidia geforce 2 mx/mx 400 =(

for geforce cards you need any driver installed as long as it isn't the built-into-XP one then do:
start>run>regedit>find: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak" then create a new "DWORD VALUE" and call it "coolbits" then give that a value of 3 (by double clicking it).
That enables OCing.

To OC it just right click my comp>properties>settings>advanced>click the tab with the name of your graphics card>click "clock settings">move the bars to choose a speed and click "test" then apply.

i guess thats what i follow right

ok im trying to overclock right now...
2 questions
1)when it tests and it shows flashes of the desktop, are there supposed to be red and green streaks?

2) are the core clock frequency and the memory clock frequency always supposed to be in proportion? for example default settings are 175 and 166, do i always have to keep their difference at 9.

no and no

1) that's called artifacting...basically you've overclocked it too far. I used to get that at like 10mhz higher memory clock speed and 100mhz higher core clock speed if i remember right.

2) no it can be whatever propertoin you want...usually the memory will not overclock as far as the core.
