Title: My Litecoin setup. How do I maximize my output?

So I'm currently getting around 190 KH/s but I saw in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.msg3608868#msg3608868 that user nonny12 is getting around 50 more KH/s than I am.

I notice that he has a very slight overclock compared to me but does that really warrant that much of a boost in performance?

I think he's using some different flags as I am using no flags at all.  I want to ask him about what flags he's using in his launch.bat but I'm a newbie and I can't post outside the newbie forums.  If someone can refer nonny12 to this thread, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm also wondering if I can use an ASIC Miner to mine litecoins.  So far, I have not been able to find information on this question.

ok i found the answer to this question

lite coin mining with asic miners is inherently difficult because of memory requirements

Currently there aren't any ASICs built for litecoin mining. The ASICs that are available work only for Bitcoin mining. As for maximizing your hashing speed on your GPU, it takes a bit of tweaking and settings adjustment.

This wiki has some information:

GUIMiner Scrypt has some presets that are pretty good and usually are more efficient that defaults. My guide on Litecoin mining has a description/download link:
