    Try different drivers. I'm not familiar with ATI GPUs, but some nvidia drivers prohibits you to overclock your GPU.

    How are you trying to overclock it?

    Remember to disable PowerPlay if you're going to try to do so. It will automatically reset the clock of the hardware based on the power mode, so you won't be able to do any overclocking while it's enabled.

    i used driver heavens catalyst 8.5 using the mobility modder, and atitool, it took forever and wasnt even stable. Its the same way the mobility 2600 had it, it couldnt overclock untill atitool and atitraytools were updated for it. So we have to wait to get support snce atitools latest version is from 2007. Also once omega drivers supports 32bit vista for ati cards we should be good for drivers and overclocking.
