I have windows XP installed through boot camp so I have access to the various utilities for overclocking my radeon x1900xt. First of all I wanted to know if overclocking in windows meant the card was overclocked once I went back over to OS X. My gut says yes but I just wanted to be sure. Second of all, what should I overclock it to so that it's the same speed as the PC retail version, and how much higher can it go before it gets unstable? I figured someone has tried it already. Thanks.

Your gut is wrong! 
Usually when you oc, it is a program that will run within a os/driver, it is not a firware oc updated.
Oc is a trial and error thing, it will go as high until it become unstable and run within reasonable temp.

Why not just use one of the software overclocking tools in OSX?

But you didn't even look. That's what gets the rolling eyes, not that you didn't know they existed.

Jesus. I made a bad assumption based on never seeing any overclocking discussion on here. Get over it.
Considering ATIccelerator doesn't support Intel Macs, and neither does Graphiccelerator's ROM dumper/flasher tools, I was somewhat right, in my case.
