    Is it possible to OC the X7900 processor from within vista, so you don't have restart and to enter the bios?

    I don't think it is possible!

    The only thing I've head about is a program called Clockgen and it only works with a few very specific chipsets.

    Part of me wishes it overclocks. Then again, I like the fan on my lappy at it's current volume.
