They seem to cover a large range. D/L ATI tool and it will find the max "safe" oc for your particular GPU and memory. The average for most I have seen is probably around 410/220.

Speaking of the Omega drivers....

What version is giving the best performance?

On my 4200, I got the best performance from Omega drivers a couple versions back.

Is there a way to keep the O/C uh, overclocked permanently?

I hate having to change it every time I reboot.

thanks

It can be set in the Radlinker options. In the "Boot: BIOS Defaults" section, click use current after you have it set where you want it. The machine will then always boot at those settings. If you ever want to set it back to what it was when you first got it, click "BIOS Defaults"

mine doesn't do that
it shows my new 'default' but doesn't boot to that
I cannot seem to press the 'apply' button, it's always faded out

Is it safe to have it permanantly overclock at 420/225 for example. How much will this affect the lifespan of your computer if at all?

On 7405gx, the best performance (both visually and speed wise) was with 5.1 omega catalyst drivers. Anything afterwards caused some weird visual artifacts (I didn't overclock at all)

I would not overclock that high permanent. The video card is part of the MB, so if it fries you will have a doorstop.

That's true to that it's part of the MB.

I would still imagine though that there would be some safer permanant settings. Does anyone have any experiences good or bad with a moderate, but permanant overclocking?

Just to mention . . . it is pretty much a fact that electronic devices have a lower mean time between failures at higher operating temperatures. See: http://www.edn.com/article/CA158983.html

So really, the question is, how to relate a specific level of overclocking to temperature.

I owned an averatec 6130-hs with a P4 and a 9600, although the stock bios clocked the 9600 at 350mhz core, and 202.50 for the mem. So I would say you could clock up the GPU to 350, but keep the mem to 202.50. The memory seems to be what fries easy, the GPU on the other hand does not.

The one thing I did notice is that the averatec had a real passive heatsink for the GPU, whereas ours has a flap of aluminum. That may be why they can run at 350.
