Do you think this overclock is impressive...

Just bought a new 9800 (non-pro & non-xt) this morning for £120 (about $180)
..
With stock cooling I immediately got the memory to 650Mhz and the core to an
incredible 450Mhz!
I'm sure the core is capable of more (hey that ryhmes)
I'm very very pleased with this purchase :-)

And how have you tested these settings?

I'm no expert but these do seem rather high. I would like to see some
benchmark figures on this set up. I would have thought that to get
those speeds would have involved filling the PC case with engine oil.

OK.

Hmm.

Sounds like a bargain.

Well he'll be posting a link to an Aquamark3 score soon... so no need to
worry :-)

My 9800 Pro can do 450/360MHz, but the RAM is Samsung 2.86ns so thats to be
expected.

I'm under the impression the cores are similar, so I can believe the core
clock (depending on the cooling). The memory is fairly impressive, although
thats say, 10% on 3.3ns RAM?
