    I have a m15x and I just installed XP pro sp3 on it.
    I tried and installed the driver and found out that the GPU clock is fixed on

    GPU Core Clock: 200 Mhz
    GPU Memory Clock: 100 Mhz

    So literally I can't play any games because it's using the lower clock.
    I wonder if there is any solution to that?

    did you disable PowerMizer (in Nvidia Control Panel)?

    and set your Power Options to Max Performance.

    I think it's because I install the 185 driver. Because I revert back to 175 now it's normal.
