I don't really play 3D games much (yet) but I was wondering, is the G400 max overclockable or what?

G400 max overclockable ?

OK. Now I'm confused. What is an uncertified and what is a certified driver?
My G400 max is setup like this:
driver =4.1101.1410
BIOS =1.5-22
Direct X=7
So what drivers and bios would you recommend I go with? I probably won't upgrade them until I install on my new system. Right now I have a K7M and 550, but i'm migrating to an Asus or Abit and a T-bird 1.1 or higher.
So what does the Matrox run at normally and what can you overclock it too?

the most recent certified driver is version 6.04. paradoxially the latest driver 6.10 doesn't appear to be certified but does not support matrox tweak utility 1.12. matrox describes this in their driver release notes as not supporting "overclocker".
driver version 5.52 definitely supports tweak utility 1.12.
MGA tweak apparently supports all ihe above versions.

Yes, it is definately overclockable.
I'm using MGATweak and have it set to 330PLL (165/220 core/mem speed), basically a 10% overclock
I slapped heatsinks on the memory and a fansink behind the core to get rid of any artifacts due to the high overclock.

thye MAX is a good overclocker. i use powerstrip and a slot cooler to get my MAX to 165/220 and a 3dmark score of 3170 with an athlon 600 @ 660 and 128mb of cas 2 pc100 sdram. however i do not know anyone who has got higher than this. perhaps dr matrox did with his 'case + card cooling project'Dell Inspiron 8200

So I should get the most recent certified driver and the MGA tweak utility and give it a shot?
Anything I should look out for or be careful about? Don't won't blow it up!
BTW, what are the stock clock rates? (Man I sound like I'm talking about bikes or motorcycles or cars or something!)
