I can drive the car for miles and it dosn't overheat. Even if I put foot once or twice, she dosn't boil. But as soon as I keep running higher revs, the water starts to boil out the resevoir.
Are there any other ways of telling it's the head gasket?

That sounds like a bad head gasket. Take it to a mechanic and tell him about that and to check it. You can do it the way devious said or use a 4-gas analyser and stick it up to the radiator filler neck and see if there are any combustion gases(carbon monoxide) coming out of there. I don't think you want to buy a 4-gas analyser though cause they are expensive. You could also run your car till it gets to normal running temperature. Pull your plugs and see if any of them are "steam cleaned." If one of them is then you have found the cyl. that had the leak in it.
