    My friend just got this ancient Compaq with an Xpress200M in it. Its an ok card but i just want to help him get the most of out of it. So i was wondering which drivers y'all recommend for getting the most performance out of it and also what program can i use to overclock? Ive only had nvidia cards so would rivatuner work or powerstrip? thanks

    you can try ATItool, it has worked on a few cards but otherwise your chances of OCing are slim

    Even if you can overclock the Xpress200m, it is similar to overclocking the Intel X3100; it's not going to do much good. I think there is a tool called AMD GPU Clock Clock Tool. You can see if that works.

    My old laptop had the Xpress 200M, and I can tell you that no matter what drivers you use, the performance will be nearly identical. I would stick with the stable stock drivers.
