How much overclocking an AIW 8500?

Hi there!

I own an AIW 8500DV graphicscard and I am very happy with it ... (till I start playing Star Wars Galaxies I guess

)
Some newer games are running a little bit slow, so I am thinking of overclocking my card.
I think I can remember that the AIW 8500 has less clock and ram speed than the "normal" Radeon 8500? Is this true?
If so, I could set the speed of my card to the values of a "normal" Radeon 8500, right? Can anybody tell me which mem and clock speed the Radeon 8500 has?

If not, can anybody tell me what speed I can set, so I do not harm my card?
Current speed is 230 Core, 190 Mem.

thx
Chris

it all depends on the type of memory your card uses and how much o/c'in it can take. only way to figure this out is incresing the speed of the ram by small amount untill u start to get errors in your graphics.

yes aiw cards run at lower speeds then regular cards.
