    For anyone interested, I've posted some preliminary over & under-clocking findings here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1037509&p=2 (user socrates09 there :)) Highlights: 250/500 core/mem clocks work a treat, no display probs even in brief 3D benches and 45C idle @ 0%...

    I'm pretty sure it is standard GDDR3 rated at 1.0ns (i.e. 1,000MHz -> 2,000 effective rate), otherwise why not up the memory speed... this is the main bottleneck for the 4850 after all! I had a good link comparing increase in core clock to increase in memory clock (can't find it now tho!), and...

    EvilAlchemist: thanks for the info about the noise, just what I wanted to know before purchasing this card! One question: does it make any noticeable noise when booting up the system? I don't mind a brief whirring, but I had a Palit 9600GT Sonic that sounded like a blow dryer for a good...
