for the 9600 pro its better to have fastwrites on. usually its better off but for this card on is the better choice.
and be carefull with overclocking, u can smoke ur card pretty easy
Yeh overclocking graphics cards isn't very beneficial except for synthetic benchmarks, espcially the older cards and ATi don't seem to overclock well. Thew newer nvidias seem to go pretty hard though hence we see anufacturers overclocking cards out of the factory and charging a premium when the benefit is minimal. It's not worth frying your card for 5 more fps.
