I say wait a month and most likly the people at Entech will put in the OC ability into Powerstrip...

As for OC the memory..... why?

The GF4 @ 650Mhz memory clock has about 10 Gbps where the Parhelia @550Mhz memory clock has over 18Gbps!!!! (thanks to 256bit memory instead of only 128bit on the GF4)
What is slowing the thing down is the core, not the memory.
My dibs say that you could OC the memory but you will see maybe a 1% increase in performace; just not worth it IMHO.

Now cranking up the core on that puppy, I would say returns of 25 - 35% (coupled with optimized drivers that is). That is what I am betting on.
