hey there.....
I have the prophet II ultra graphic card (uses the geforceII ultra chip)
and I wann'a know what're the overclocking settings I should give it so it'll work best with maya3.01 (without burning my card ofcourse)
let's say I wann'a use the geforce tweak at www.guru3D.com website...
what are the settings I need to put there (in the OpenGL settings tab,core clock,memory clock...)
thanx
anyone please???
I don't overclock, but I do know a little bit about it. Since every card is different, there is no set limit to how much you can push your specific card. Yours may simply have a little bit better batch of memory that can be pushed higher than someone else with the exact same card -- or vice versa. The general rule of thumb is to find the limit of your card and back the speed down a bit until it's stable again -- it's a trial and error process.
That said, why are you set on overclocking it? The gains aren't all "that" much, and you definitely raise the possibility of system instability. This is the reason I don't overclock -- when my system crashes for whatever reason, I don't want to be wondering whether or not the overclocking is the cause.

thanx for the info....
but I've heard that using the geforce tweak utility (www.guru3d.com)
you can solve the overlay problem with the geforce card...
I mean this utility lets you play with the registery of the card
and as I've heard can realy increase the performance...
(for exemple tweaking your geforce II to work like a quadro II card...)
I'd just like to know what registery options I need to check in order for my geforce to run best in maya 3.0...
as I understand many people use this tweak,and I'd be happy if someone who uses this geforce tweak helps me choose
the optins I should check in order for maya to work fastest....
here's a screenshot of the tweak:
sorry for the big image but that's what they've had on their site
thanx... 
I seem to have misunderstood your original post (which specifically said "overclocking" in the title.) Just because you use the Geforce Tweak Utility (or another similar util) doesn't mean that you have to overclock the card. Give the title of your post, I had the impression that you specifically wanted to overclock. Overclocking is just one of the numerous tweaks available -- it's all the OTHER settings that you really need.
The only setting that I've heard about with specific relevance to Maya is "Use unified back/depth buffer." Other than checking this box, I have no idea what the other settings should be. I would actually be interested in finding out about the other settings if you're ever able to find this information. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good Luck,
Larry
thanx dude....
well your right....
my mistake.....
the title "overclocking" that I used was a litlle misleading....
although I wann'a overclock my card just a little (increasing the core clock,memory clock),my main goal was tweaking it (with all the other options in the registery)...
anyways the title shoud've been "tweking"....
anyone know of any other options I should check??
thanx again....
I'll take a look at the app, if it runs in 2k. I've used PowerStrip so far for just GPU/MEM clocking, but I'll dig into this one and let you know about my results.

optek:
thanx for doin' that...
ho and this tweak works on w2k but only with the detonator3 drivers by nvidia...
ahhh.. that's why the tweak tab didn't come up... Hmph.
When I switched to the speed settings, I got 50 more 3dMarks. hmph! I didn't get a chance to run Specview on it, I was bugging around with trying to get memory interleaving working on an Intel VIA board.
