I haven't had much use for overclocking since the K6-2 days, so I'm not an
up-to-speed OC guru or anything, but owning one of these cards, here is my advice/thoughts, FWIW. There are lot of old reviews of G3 Ti200 with info on overclocking levels and results. Usually even upping the clock 25+ MHz only yields a few frames according to the reviews, and IMHO is not worth doing, unless you have a specific game that you play that is noticably improved with OC'ing. I will say it is a fairly overclockable card, depending really on whether the vendor used good RAM. Your system is similar to mine and most things will play just fine with the card not overclocked (I generally play at 1280x1024 16 or 32-bit, sometimes 2x AA). The stock fan/heatsink is more than enough for the G3 Ti200 if you don't OC it, but if you decide that's really what you want to do long-term, consider getting a quality VGA cooler or maybe installing a slot fan (like AOC System Blower) next to your card (which could also help your overall system ambient temperature). If you're not going to clock it close to at least 200Mhz core, gradually of course (maybe as much as 440-460 for the RAM), which it can probably do handily, then I wouldn't mess with it. But that's just me, do whatever you think.
