BEAT THIS:

396/396 after much tweaking I have moved the speed boundaries further!! My Radeon 9600 rocks...

Get this... IT HAS NO ON BOARD FAN!!! (case side fan seems to be doing adequately)

Thats a massive 22% speed increase on the core clock speed!!


Areas of KOTOR that were perhaps a bit choppy at first are alright now!!

Note Radeon 9600 series are very "stretchable" in terms of overclocking I saw an overclockers article detailing how a 9600 pro hit core speeds of over 520mhz and yet was still down on performance compared to a 9700 Pro running at speeds below 400mhz

Provided you have adequate cooling you should be able to get 380/360 easily. Just dont go above 412 on the core.

I got it from download.com but it was 38Mb or something. Try looking at some PC mags, it might be on the cover disc or something.
