I don't want to sound like a stick in the mud but the card you have is a 64bit interface from what i could see. Over clocking this type of card is really not going to yield much of an improvement due to the limitations of the interface. I could be wrong but I think your 7800GTX had a 256 bit interface which could handle a lot more info than your current card. If on your current system with the core 2 6750 your 8400 will be your bottle neck and no amount of overclocking can change the 64 bit interface
