Underclock 16MB ATI Rage Ultra

Yes...you did read that correctly...I'm looking to underclock an 16MB ATI Rage Ultra. Its for work...we have those cards in all of our new Dell Optiplex GX240s, and we're having an issue with Intel Landesk not being able to remote control these machines. We believe that the problem lies with the RAMDAC speed, so I was wondering if there was any utility to underclock the card. Who knows if this will even fix the problem we're having, but I at least want to give it a try. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Hoping for something possibly freeware...can't really justify the cost of purchasing 20 liscenses of Powerstrip.

You think you can play with the Ramdac speed? No problems with the core, but the Ramdac, I don't know.

www.rage3d.com has a program called Rage Tweaker or something along those lines, I think that program is freeware https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif.

Also, if nothing else works I'd download a overclock utility and underclock it, find the changes made in the registry and underclock it without the aid of programs.
