Bus speed is the culprit more than likely. 100Mhz is 66Mhz X 1.5. 120Mhz is 60Mhz X
2.0.

Can somebody please explain this to me:
I have a P90/40mb Ram/ATI Mach 64 1mb Dram and when I run GP2 I get
these log results if I overclock to P100 I get a video speed of 156,
but when I overclock to P120 I get a video speed of 141.
Why is the video performance poorer when the cpu speed is set faster?
I obviously get better cpu results when running at 120 so which clock
speed do you recomend I run at?

What you should say really is:

When you overclock your CPU, you must change the speed of the
motherboard to accomodate the new CPU speed. As the mobo is now
running at a different speed, the performance through your graphics
card will decrease (since if you look at the list above you will see
that a P120 will run the mobo slower than the P100. Try o/c ing to a
133 and then it should go back to what is was (well, the CPU score
will go up, I'm not sure about the video - anyone know for sure what
will happen?)

If you o/c you do so at your own risk!!
