    Hi, if u look at my silly signature u will see my laptop's specifications..

    My question is, is there any easy way to boost my gaming performance without opening it up and fiddling with the hardware?

    I use the latest catalyst drivers. Is omega better or something?



    Suggestions please!!!! :) :p :D

    Hi Darbyjack,

    Of course you can. In Ati Catalyst 6.2 thread you can find my recommendations for 3 types of users, depending how far you want to go.

    When you decide, check my signature, and you will get some ideas. If you have some problems, please post, and I will try to help you.

    Cheers,

    my ATI catalyst control centre doesn't seem to have any overclock controls.

    Anyone recommend software for overclocking my GPU?

    No Ccc has it. I recommend Ati tools and Notebook hardware control for easy overclocking. Ati tray tools for advanced.

    Cherrs,

    ATI Tray tools is what I would recommend as well. Very easy to use and has nice controls.

    Be sure to click on some of those links in Ivan's signature.
