    :) So I'd like to know if anyone managed to oc this laptop.

    Specs : AMD Turion 64x2 1.6GHz (8*200) it can run undervolted at 1.025V stable, so sure it would oc well...
    DDR2 533MHz Hyundai ram (2*1Gb in mine)
    NVidia MCP51 chipset. Geforce Go7300 videocard.

    GPU : easily overclockable with coolbits.reg directly in graphics properties, it ocs well, +12% for mine in 3dmark.

    CPU : Coef is 8* max, so the only way to oc seems to be by pushing the fsb, but setfsb or clockgen can't find the controller used on this system. Clockgen shows all frequencies, recognizes the mcp51 chipset, but that's all. So if anyone knows which controller is used please tell us. Any information on an alternative way is also welcome. For the moment I wait for new versions of setfsb or clockgen. :(

    As far as I know most notebook BIOS's won't let you overclock the processor.

    1.025V for ur Turion?!?! Mine came stock at that voltage, and I got it down to 0.925V and stable as a rock for 7 months. What was it originally?
