    I hope this isn't old news, I didn't see anything here on it.

    The latest version of EVGA Precision works great with the ION now. Before it only overclocked the level 3 clocks, not the 3D gaming clock speeds. But now it works perfectly as it should. I'm using it on my 1201N.

    The best thing is that I finally get to uninstall the atrocity nTune/nVidia Tools.

    Oh yeah, one other best thing... Now you can adjust your voltage but I haven't played with that too much, I'm just happy to get an easy, stress free OC on my ION.

    Sorry, I don't know about ION2 so please report if it works there.

    We cant get ION2 in the UK :( you people in the US are so lucky we are stuck with the GMA 3150 which is pants. I was considering importing one but could have been burned by the tax man so didn't bother in the end.

    The Eee Pc is still an awesome model though just wish I could pair my little duel core with something better.

    Post some results if you could please I may consider importing one once the Ivy is launched and the new Atom replacement is released.

    I only have the ION and with that overclocked and the N330 dual core Atom set to 2.1GHz I was able to get just a hair under 2100 in 3DMark06. I play my MMO Fallen Earth at native res, distance sliders set to half and most details set at low or medium and get 25-35 FPS, perfectly playable.

    I played the SWTOR beta on it as well and it actually was ok to play. I wouldn't want to do anything serious with it but running around doing low level quests it was fine.

    Very impressive little machines when tweaked.

    I wanted it for just a few of the older games that required the extra graphics and mainly I wanted it to be able to run HDMI 1080p on my screen in my room :( got crappy 1440x1024 with the VGA out.

    Boooooo UK Asus. haha. Great little GPU for the smaller setups though +1 to Nvidia for that little GEM.
