It all depends on the speed of the memory on the
video card.  With 40ns I have used /0 76 2 2 /1 0
as the switch which gives around 69 MHz with 1 cycle
EDO.

Try a low value eg /0 60 2 2 which gives around 55MHz and then keep
increasing
it until you run into display problems - this will usually
show up as failure to refresh the screen properly.
To check - do the mclk alterations in fullscreen
dos within windows95.  Use alt+tab to switch to
windows and then drag a window quickly round the screen.
If you see traces left behind this window such as shadows
where the frame used to be then you have exceeded the
limits of your card. Back off slightly on the mclk setting
and put this value into a line in your autoexec.bat
