    Download a select driver from Laptopvideo2go.com. (I would suggest 174.74)

    Download "Nvtune", also. (Quick Google)

    You will see in your "Nvidia Control Panel" the option for "Adjust GPU Settings". This is where you will OC. You just check the "Custom Clocks" square, and adjust. No one can tell you the best overclock, as all systems are different, so what you want to do is OC by small margins at a time. (Starting with Core, then Clock) After an OC, run some kind of your own stress test. Load up CoD4 and play for 15-20 minutes. Always watch your temps! This is where the beast lies in Overclocking- the temps.

    Any more questions just let us know.

    (-sorry, my english isn't vey well.-I'm turkish)

    my computer is asus f8sn .(t8300, 2gb ram, gefoece 9500m)
    I can do it. first download "powerstrip" for video card. you can find it with google. for cpu over clock, download setfsb: http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/download/ver21/setfsb_2_1_69_2.zip

    this program can do more over clock to your video card with cpu. my new cpu clock is 2.75 ghz. you can see it at picture.

    use my frequencies.
    that is my over clock:

    I wouldn't recommend just using his frequencies.. all graphics cards are different and have different thresholds. Just work your way up slowly.

    You probably need newer drivers (I'm loving 177.79).

    Like KGann said, laptopvideo2go.com is your best friend.

    I've got nTune, but I use RivaTuner (just prefer it).
