I'm going to receive this ASUS DirectCU GTX460 1GB 256-bit card either tomorrow or the day after:

I'm planning to overclock it as much as possible while the temps remain under 80 Celsius degrees during 100% load with reasonable fan speeds. I'll first overclock the core/shader clocks but I'm not so sure about overclocking the memory, I'll appreciate it if you guys could clear up a few things for me:
- I read that only certain GTX460s provide VRAM cooling, I couldn't find out whether the one I'm getting does or not, so what's the safe limit to overclock the memory if it doesn't have proper cooling?
- Should I even overclock the memory? i.e will the memory bandwidth bottleneck the overclocked core/shader clock speeds? I prefer to see real world video game performance difference, not just fancy stats.
My aim is to reach 675 > 900-950mhz core and 900 > 1000mhz memory speeds if possible.
