    Ok i recently installed driver 169.9 drivers for my card and also ntune. In ntune it alows me to overclock the core bus and memery bus speed. Right now its at factory 375 core and 507 memery. I thought that you couldnt overclock a dell unless u did somthing to the bios? So does this actaully work or does it just say its at that clock but its really not?

    The settings might stay, but as soon as you reboot they will revert back to factory settings.

    To get around this, you need to flash your video BIOS. Check out the Dell 17+ inch section on www.notebookforums.com - there is a sticky with all necessary info for you to flash (I believe it is a thread titled "Unlocked nvidia BIOS found" or something like that)....
