you dont really damage cards untill you do physical changes(and the exception of bios's)
step it up 1-5 mhtz at a time untill it artifacts then step it down a notch

sorry but what are artifacts

artifacts-the stuff that tomb raider babe was always after.

Or in your case its bits of errors in the vidoe you see on your monitor. You cant miss it if it starts happening. Does Atitool work on the 9200 board? IF so its a decent OCing utility for you.Itll help you find your cards maximum stable OC.

Edit- Ok I checked and the 9200 board is supported. Heres the DL site for Atitool: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
