| Q1: |
Is ATI Overdrive™ safe to use? |
| A1: |
Yes. The new ATI Overdrive™ control
panel lets users safely maximize the performance level
of their graphics processor. ATI Overdrive™ intelligently
determines the optimal speed of the graphics processor
by constantly monitoring the temperature of the graphics
processor, ensuring that it always stays at a safe
level.

No. ATI Overdrive™ currently only
increases graphics processor frequency. A future ATI Catalyst™ release
will also increase graphics memory frequency as well. |

XT retail products. On the Graphics By ATI products supplied

| Q4: |
Can I use a manual over-clocking utility in conjunction with ATI Overdrive™?
|
| A4: |
If you enable ATI Overdrive™, and
use a 3rd party manual over-clocking utility to set your
graphics processor clock to an over-clocked speed, ATI
Overdrive™ will automatically reduce the graphics
processor frequency if ATI Overdrive™ detects that
graphics processor is too hot. If ATI Overdrive™ is
not enabled, any 3rd party manual over-clocking utility
can be used to set the graphics processor to any desired
speed. |
