Overclocking X300SE-How High

Hello All
 
New Dell 8400 owner with the X300SE
 
3.0 Prescott
1GB Ram
160 SATA
Newest Omega Drivers
 
Wanted to know other peoples experiences with overclocking the X300SE?  This card is too basic so I am trying to get the most out of it before I need to upgrade.  Waiting for availabiliy and prices to come down on the 6600GT. 
 
Anyways, I was hoping others could post their successful overclock values and 3DMark scores.  Here are Mine:
 
Description        Core Clock     Memory Clock    3DMark2001  3DMark03
Stock                      324                   196                  6671              1885
OC1                        385                   216                  7511              2133
OC2                        405                   223                  7770              2204
 
Thanks...

Oh, also wanted to note that I installed a PCI slot fan that draws air from inside the case, across the heatsink on the card and out the case.  Seems to work great!  I picked mine up at a local Microcenter for $17.

Eh?  They're actually very widely available on online retailers and prices have come down below MSRP on some sites.

Right now I am seeing the 6600GT around $215 to $230.  Would prefer $175 or so.  Don't own Doom3 yet but with Half life2 and Halo2 coming soon it will be hard not to upgrade by the end of the year.  Will have to keep checking online and see about pricing around Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I have already extracted 17% more out of the X300SE and want to see how much more I can safely get.  Anyone have any results???
