whilst playing games, or a 3d screensaver, sometimes my mates PC will

Doesn't the 9600xt auto-overclock? They say, and I have experienced, that
the slot next to the AGP card should be empty ( and the next if possible
when oc'ing ). I have also heard, and experienced, that some stock cards
have too much lousy thermal grease on the gpu... Many say, and I have
experienced that it help to lower the temps if the old is removed and good
new is applied ( not for the faint of heart, or the in warrantee... ).
Eh...
