    Hi....

    I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with a Geforce go 6800. When i try to overclock the card using NVidia panel in the advanced settings. It always gets reset to its default freq. no matter what i do.

    Now i know tht prob the OC is locked in BIOS for this card. But there is a way to install a new BIOS by flashing my current BIOS.

    Could someone please give me pointers to , where the entire process is explained.
    Or could someone be kind enough to point me to a thread that explains it.
    (I have googled it, but didn't find the required info in one place.)

    I need to get a few more FPS for ElderScrolls 4: Oblivion. (I got my collectors edition). Thanks
    {
    current freq: 290/590
    }
