    Can the 8600 in the G2S be OCed to 625?

    That wouldbe a free upgrade :) (except the 8700 has dual link bus but)

    Not that much on the core, the desktop 8600GT is running at higher voltage and is stuck at 650 (720 for GT XXX wich uses GTS voltage) because of 75W limitation. Now this is 35W and still an uderclocked G84
