Its current core speed is 740mhz, memory speed is 1000mhz and shader is 1850mhz. As for cooling, I am using the stock fan that came with it.
The sort of answers that I am looking for are:-
* a program that automatically finds maximum overclock values.
* a way to make the card permenantly overclocked and not have to run a program everytime i start my pc.
* results from people that have already overclocked their 9800gtx.
* tips on what to look out for and how to do it
* I am willing to change bios settings. My motherboard is GA-EP35-DS3L with the latest F6a bios.

Please, any replies, can you make simple

Do a google search on nvidia bios editor. Since you can't afford to make mistakes or will suffer from losing this card I wouldn't do it. You're processor is fine for most everything but may need a touch overlcock to 3.2 ghz for few things.
