    Hey I was wondering what kind of frames you guys are getting playing games like Counter-Strike Source or Battlefield2? Im getting like 30-50 fps on counterstrike source with details set to low. I guess its decent but I was expecting to get that frames at high. I am using stock drivers right now, can any one reccomend which drivers I should get. Also is there a way to overclock the gpu. I tried coolbits but it didn't show up. I set the registry vaule to three. Any help would be awesome!

    30-50? That seems a bit low to me. GO7600 should be able to handle CS Source well beyond low :-\. Have you checked the properties on your card? Also check your refresh rate, I used to get like 30fps on CS...changed the refresh rate on the screen and now it's at a constant 85.

    Aznron, they have the memory and core frequencies locked in the bios on our machines. I've managed to get around this by flashing back to the f.09 bios which u can still download off of www.hp.com. I've been using the 84.25 Forceware off of www.laptopvideo2go.com which already has the coolbits overclock entry enabled. Just know that you cannot successfully overclock without flashing back to the f.09 bios.

    Once you do that, you can get a pretty substantial performance increase out of your machine. I went from getting 3500 in 3dmark05 out of the box, to a 3900+ with the listed driver and some slight overclocking.

    Feel free to PM me for any details u need.
