    the numbers r off, first it actually is 378:460 cause the ram frequency u have to multiply it by 2 one way to fix it would be overclocking the card to its "normal state"

    Would this be at all dangerous overclocking the memory to 460?

    dude look the first number is the gpu "clock" (the speed of the proc of the video card) the second is the ram frequency (the speed of the ram) so when u say "Would this be at all dangerous overclocking the memory to 460?" im assuming u ment the gpu clock first overclocking it to 460 from the original 412 might b to much since the card might b producing lots of heat (thats probably y its underclocked)

    Yea i got it wrong my bad.

    Anyway i tryed it at 412:230 and my pc restarted so i opened it up and removed a pci card which was pressing right against the card and now it seems to be alright running at 412:230. But still my defualt values are 378:230 and i'm receiving benchmarks lower than a 9600xt.

    After reading up it turns out that the problem could be from an over loaded power supply or over heated card.

    So i have ordered a antec neoHE 430watt PSU and a Arctic cooling ATI silencer 3 do you think this would fix the problem?
