Question overclocking 3d cards?

I have a 3d card gf2 ti that alows me to tweak. There tweakables are:
1. memory clock
2. core chip clock
3. core
4. memory
5. fan speed(the heat sink fan)

Then there are some graphs dosplaying the settings: memory, v-ref, core and tempreature. So which want do I tweak so that I get the most. I tried everything at max- the pc froze/the graphics were chunky.

Start by upping the memory clock speed and the core clock speed. Go up a little bit at a time and stop/clock back when you start to see any glitches in graphics or you're getting lockups.

Well if I adjust the speed to high-it will return to the previous settings. Now there is also another thing i can change-the core and memory. The numbers are as follows
core-2.05
memory-2.45_I can change this as well. Do I increase this-or just leave it alone?

I think those are the core/memory voltages? What you want to change is the core and memory clock speed. Are you running a program in order to change the clock frequencies or using some other method?

Yup-its a program that comes with the gf2 ti. I'm not sure its the voltage-it needs 3v-what I've seen on the card.
