Well if your processer is running slower than it should be, then thats a problem. As far as the video card, use ATi Tool, it will be a better overclocking utility.However what is your GFX card? if its something like a 9600 dont push it over 400mhz core, as unless its watercooled it just cant handol the heat.

Unless he has a 9600xt, because they run at 527MHz core, and 650MHz memory as standard. (Well the Fireblade model does)

ok I used the ATi Tool, works well, I save my settings but when I look at the specs of my card there are still the default settings, no matter what I change with ATi Tool! How can I really make the changes?

Save your overclocked settings to a profile. Then go into settings. Tell ATi tool that you want it to start up with windows useing your overclocked profile.

This is an aging post, but here is my blog on it.

You can't, because your card doesn't support those speeds, that's why they won't "stick".
