    Hey, for anyone who wants to OC their M17xR3 Graphics chip, download this (MSi Afterburner)

    I have a GTX460m and I've OC'ed to 750 core / 1500 shader / 1400 memory from 675 core / 1350 shader / 1250 memory.

    It can go further but I don't want it to heat up too much. This gives me about a 10 percent performance boost. It raises Windows XP index from 7.1 to 7.2

    Temperature increase for my OC is about 3 degrees on idle.
