overclock through bios or software

[computermod14]

I use ATI Tool mainly to monitor the temps of my x1600pro, but I have recently put the overclocking feature to the test. Would I get better results using ATI Tool or directly overclocking through the bios?

To my knowledge you can't overclock directly through the BIOS, don't you have to flash it?

You must overclock through software for video cards.

well the card is agp, and in the bios it gives me the option to up the clock...at stock its 66 in the bios

That is only your AGP bus clock speed that is not the timing of your GPU.

You can try to raise it a little and see if you get any improvement but chances are you won't notice much. Even when switching from 4x to 8x AGP the change was marginal at best.
