    Just make sure you don't burn a whole in your notebook with too high clocks!

    You should easily be able to overclock it using MSI Afterburner. Download: ( http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/images/MSIAfterburnerSetup200.zip) Start with clocks around 800/1400/1600 (core/memory/shader) and work your way up. I eventually was able to get mine up to 825/1450/1650 being stable. Good luck and let us know how it works out! Congrats on the new laptop! :)
