Question overclock gf2ti-software vs hardware

I have a gf2ti. There is an overclocking software that comes with it. And It works-I can change the speeds of core, memory until the pc hangs or until I see some jagged pictures. Which is better-hardware overclock or software overclock? How to overclock my card the "hardware" way

Since I'm going to get a new card soon might as well play with this one.

The only reason I do this is because I can only play C&C generals very smoothly at 640x480 at low detail. When I increase detail-it gets slower. If I increase resolution-its even slower. Or there is no way the gf2ti is going to handle c&c? What card you all have to play this game at
1024x768 with high details smoothly with no slowdown.

thats CRAP......my c&C generals runs at 1024x768 No problem, no lag, no nothing, but i do turn the number of particles down.its quite weird because your system is so much better than mine. did you custom the settings?....
it could be due to the *ahem* high quality of *ahem* malaysian games and *ahem* production if you know what i mean.
