The 7800GS is known for being a fabulous overclocker. There's people who went over 515mhz on the core, and 1500mHz on memory.

That's a whoopin' 37% and 25% for ya. If I'd try that on my new card it can be used as charcoal during the next BBQ season.

Personally I think a low end card isn't even worth OCing, unless you're talking about a relatively good one like the DDR3 7300GT. Sure it's nice for kicks, but once you start hardware modding the card because you're dead serious about performance, you've lost it imo. These cards weren't meant for gaming in the first place, just for displaying spreadsheets and word documents.
