How do I OC my Radeon 8500

I've got a 64MB Radeon 8500 that is showing it's age. Is it possible to OC this card? How do I do it?

Use this tweak program: http://www.rage3d.com/r3dtweak/ Just be sure to watch for artifacting, then you know you have overclocked to far. Move the speeds up in small increments until you find a stable setting. HTH

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but since I can't afford to upgrade my vid card this summer, I'll probably be trying to milk every bit out of my present card.
