I usually run my Virge 325 at ~72MHz, with 59 1 2, without any problem.
Anyway, it differs from card to card, so you should start from the
default mclk of your virge (mclk /0 to get it) and increase the value
step by step checking if your card and your video ram can keep up with
the frequency. Check if there is no video corruption mhz after mhz, and
choose the highest clock you can get without "video noise". Then, work
for a couple of hours with the overclocked card, and if you can't notice
any instability, it should be stable for continued use.

ciao :),

PS: sorry for my english... ;)
