Default Sapphire ATi X16000 pro overclockable?

Is the Sapphire ATi Radeon X1600 Pro overclockable? For some reason I can't overclock it, yet, I've been reading at differnt places that you can. I've also heard, though, that it isn't.

lol, what a question, of course it's overclockable, you just need software to do that, AtiTool for instance or RadLinker.

I had a similar problem with my x1600PRO. When I went into ATI Tools, I could only raise the core about 20Mhz, and if I raised the memory even a few Mhz, it would crash.

Well, right now I have ATi Tray Tools and it won't allow me to un-disable overclocking and ATi Tools doesn't work either....

Success!!! Ive finally was able to overclock with Rivatuner but heres a new question... how high should it go? I clocked it to around 570/500 and Im already getting glitchy in games.... is the gpu too high or is it the memory or both?
