Which GeForce2 MX overclocks the best?

[AMDnut]

I'm shopping for a GeForce2 MX. I want to know which do you prefer?

I've heard all of the Hercules MX cards come with 5.5ns RAM and overclock very well.
Is that true?

If Hercules is not the best choice, which one is?

Thanks!

Lo m8,

Yeah, the Herc MX is the best. Make sure you get the full retail version coz it has the 5.5ns ram. Mine does 250 core and 210 memory, using a lapped Blue Orb and Massive Ramsinks

I think the OEM versions have 6ns ram but I hear that they overclock quite good too

How's it going 600R?

Thanks for the info! That's what I wanted to know. I'll be looking for a retail version then!

I've a Creative MX and I can't find long enough scrollbars

------------------
Drakion is one of the few unfortunate people who cannot OC (lack of funds, useless mb, no cooling) and can only watch idlely by. Good luck dudes.

Its going pretty good m8, how are you?

This Duron system is really rock solid. I've just got a new Turtle Beach Santa Cruz S/card and the quality is exelent - better than my SB-Live!

I'm in a counterstrike clan at the mo so i'm using my puter for gaming mostly as well as the usual overclocking, tweaking and listening to mp3's. Hows your system?? I'm considering doing the voltage mod to my KT7 to get that extra few MHZ out of it. I'm using a similar setup to you.... my ALPHA is ducted to an 80mm YS-Tech fan at the side of my GlobalWin 802 and it works a treat

As long as the card has 5.5ns memory and good cooling it should come out near the top. Even the 6ns cards come within 5-10mhz memory speed.

Gimme my TriLevel Cache

600R - Everything is working fine here. I have cut my speed back to 920mhz using 115mhzFSB speed with 8x multiplier. The higher FSB speed helps performance instead of running 100*9.5!
I'm tired of my ATI Expert2000 vid card though. It's getting old and is having a hard time keeping up. I figure the GeForce2 MX is the best value solution. I've been thinking of a dual head though for running 2 monitors. Since I do graphics work, that would be nice. I'm not sure if I want to spend the extra money though.

Your set up sounds rockin'! I'm not ready to try the voltage mod yet. I'm not that good! I'm looking for the next good price drop on the TBirds so maybe I can get a 1Ghz chip! I think that will be next!

Right now I'm getting parts together to set up a friends new system. Here is a run down so far:

Epox 8KTA3 mobo
Duron [email protected] (or higher?)
Micron 128mb CAS2
WD 20GB 7200rpm HDD
36X CD-Rom drive
Creative 8x4x32 Burner
Probably my ATI Expert2000 vid card!

Soundblaster PCI512
Creative ModemBlaster 56k

That's it so far. A nice little upgrade, don't you think? I think it will kick a little butt! I'll be sure to post benchmarks when it's put together!

Laterzzzzzzzzzz................
