    hello and first sorry for my english ;-)

    i have notebook with integrated gpu geforce 7300 go. I know that card is slower version of gf 7400go. Nvidia says that cards is the same - only frequency of gpu and memory is higher. So please tell me:

    how 100% safe overclock my 7300 to 7400? This card are the same, so this OC will be 100% safe?

    greetings

    It should be ok, but I see no issue overclocking until you find the stability limit.

    What laptop is it? You MIGHT be able to upgrade it. Never know until you look into it.

    To answer your question though, every 7300 is different, all of them can overclock to different levels, some probably cannot overclock at all without stability issues.

    hi, thanks ;-)

    my laptop is FS Amilo Pro (t5500, gf 7300go, 2gb ram 667mhz).

    I dl NvidiaInspector & GPU-Z and default frequency of my card is 350 for gpu and 300(!!!) for memory. Google says gf 7300 has 400mhz for memory, so what is this? ;-)

    I use oc options and my actual situation is: 450 for gpu and 400 for ram (800).

    all video tests and benchmarks works fine. Temp of gpu is the same (51 celcius).

    dont know - try oc higher or leave this on actual parameters? Why memory on my card is only 300mhz?

    greetings, sorry for my language ;-)

    Well, because...
    quoted from notebookcheck.net

    But hey! Good news, I think you can upgrade!

    Its very hard to find info on Fujitsu laptops, but they often use standardized MXM cards. If this is true, you would probably be able to upgrade too a 9600m GT ddr3. Pretty major jump in performance.

    Unfortunately, unless you can find a picture of the motherboard, the only way to tell if you can upgrade is to take it apart...
