Below
is a simple chart explaining all the overclocking possibilities
I went with. I went in 5 MHz increments, except for the first
jump, where I went up 4 MHz to even things out.

*stable
- It would successfully run through 1 hour of Q2 benchmarks
without crashing.
*Achievable - It would boot to windows
obviously
200 MHz seems to be the sweet spot for this card. There are
many factors that can affect a cards overclockablity. Heat usually
plays a major role, but since I had the nifty fan/heatsink on,
it was never a problem. The quality of the ram on your board
is the other major factor. Not all the V3 3000 boards use the
same memory, and some is more stable at higher speeds then others,
so watch that.
The
slipstream drive enhancement for the Voodoo 3 is an extraordinary
product. The price (only $24.95), the performance, and the overall
quality of this product makes it a must have for any power gamer's
arsenal. That is why a am giving it the relatively unheard of
10/10 score.
