What's more overclockable: 1400 w/ 8400GS or D630 w/ 135m?

We all know 8400GS = NVS 135m in terms of hardware.

But which laptop allows more overclocking? Vostro 1400 or Latitude D630?

I believe it is the 8400GS since it is designed for a gamer's platform than the other....

Pretty sure 135m is GS and 140m is between GS and GT

Apologies for butting in, but I also think the 135m is a GS that is underclocked (or with lower clock settings). As I remember, I read on Nvidia's site that the Quadro's were tested and tested for stability issues, so is this why they left the clock speeds lower?

It seems that the Quadro 135m cards are GDDR3's, while some 8400m GS are GDDR2 or GDDR3 (depending on the laptop i guess?)

I haven't tried any real games on the 135m yet, but I think out of the box, it will be slower than the 8400m GS.

Best,
Ilham
