Radlinker/Omega help w Mobility 9000

TazerRE

I just got the new set of Omega drivers. They ROCK. My previous drivers were like a year old...

Anyway, I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop with the Mobility Radeon 9000 card.

I'd like to use Radlinker to overclock my graphics card, but I'm wondering if it's a good idea. I understand that there's a risk involved in overclocking things in any case, but I'm wondering more specifically. I'm a bit more worried because it IS a laptop card, so I'm wondering about heat issues. I have a fan setup which takes care of most heat problems though. Should I be concerned, or what?

I'd just generally like to drag some better performance out of this thing. I read the Radlinker FAQ, and I see what's being talked about with how to change the settings, I just don't know how much I should change them, in what direction, or whatever.

Please excuse my terminal case of newbie-ness, just trying to get all this stuff figured out.
Thanks in advance everybody.

There are no guarantees when running any piece of equipment outside of it's specifications. I personally would not recommend overclocking your card as it's very expensive, but should you choose to, be very careful. While there is a risk of blowing up your card, I personally don't know of anyone that has blown up their laptop using RadLinker.
