OC GF4 Ti 4200 128 MB

Talk about shorthand...This shouldn't be too hard, right?

In an old TweakTown article, I saw the registry hack Coolbits mentioned. Basically, it just inserts itself deep in the video card's menus, with two sliders to choose from (core and memory). I've got the GF4 To 4200 128Mb, so the memory is already slower. In that same article (kinda old, maybe things change), it states that "most stock coolers on video cards will not provide the performance needed" in overclocking. For now (first OC, in anything), I would like to get the memory up to the 64Mb version's speed. Would the stock cooler on the GPU be fine? Now that I think about it, does that even matter? I would be OC the memory, not the core itself. Or would I?

Any better (easy) Windows programs for OC the video card? NVMax was mentioned, but it's not supported anymore. Also, for anyone that has a Ti 4200 128 mb, what is the limit to overclocking with no physical changes to the card? Or, what could be a good guess?

well i can see you are new to this so i'll explain this easily to you. I have an EVGA 128mb gf4, and i can oc it up to 280/560. That's easily passed the 64mb speeds, and reaching gf4 ti440 speeds. Now, this isn't that great of an overclock and if your lucky you'll get one that does 300/600 without breakin a sweat. I actually edited my bios so that the default speeds are my overclocked speeds, so no programs required. This is all with teh stock cooling, which is adequate for decent overclocking.
