    On Intel's site it states that the GMA 900's (Graphics Media Accelerator 900) core runs at 333MHz. Is it possible to overclock this? I mean, I know it's integrated but would a performance increase be noticeable? I'm just looking for feasibility here...I'm bored at work.

    Yeah, you can't overclock that card, sorry. It was never meant for gaming, and even if it was possible that it could be overclocked, I don't see games playing much better than they do.
