and as for the oc limit: as a lot of people stated before, each card is different.
some can't go higher than 450, i could go as far as 470, but even 5 MHz higher and i get artifacts (oon atitool and in games).
however, always check your temperature in the beginning, i recommend the logfile of atitool (settings->temperature monitoring->gpu max). mine didn't grow at all after the oc, it's still max 83, never got higher so far, even if playing bioshock, nfs carbon, stalker or tomb raider anniversary, so i feel safe with this degree of oc.
some members here claim that temps around mid 90s are still ok, however, i'm afraid that's already risky and you should be prepared to get some problems in the future. but everyone has to find out himself, maybe i'm just too cautious.

that shoudl help with bioshock fps... i have a T7200 core2duo 2.0ghz..

i don't know why you keep insisting i was flaming you, and i WAS being constructive by pointing out what you said to be not exactly accurate, otherwise it might mis-lead some people into thinking they can actually play the game at such high resolution when actual fps is so low (10-20 in action sequences).
