    I've just ordered a HP dv7t - 2043cl with a t6400 4650 gddr3 and was wandering what kind of overclocking potential can I expect from it. Would I be wrong in assuming that it should by very least reach 4670 levels since its the same chip in there?
    ps. does anyone know if the motherboard would accept P series core 2 duos and ddr3 ram?

    I don't know alot about your notebook, but i do know that that gpu can reach verry high clocks. I'm sire you can bump up the memory clock alot and reach over 7-7.5k 3dmarks

    Yeah most likely not ddr3 as it only comes with a few msi notebooks.

    1GB DDR3, and it flies (for a mid-ranger). 9600M is not even a match. Check your sources.

    I think HP uses the GDDR3 HD4650s in their DV6 notebooks but the Nvidia cards that HP uses are all DDR2

    LOL when i bought this laptop, i paid quite a price for it. It was about $1700 USD so since i paid that much, should i have gotten a GDDR3 card and not a cheap DDR2 card. BTW 9600M GT was great for its time and i know it can't compare to 4650 but idk, i still want a GDDR3 9600M GT....

    I have hp dv6-1260se and it has hd4650 1 gig gddr3.
    But i can't see a difference after overclocking it,although it is more stable on stocksettings : 667/550.

    thanks for all who responded, I can confirm that dv7t's do infact carry gdd3 ram in their radeons. I haven't got my hands on the laptop yet, but from checking other posts it seems max reported stable overclock was at 680 / 800, so about 20% speed increase.

    Dude, Grow up, lol. He didn't say his was better than yours...All he was saying was that you should be sure before you respond or you'll end up giving somebody false information (which you did).

    And there's always somebody with a better laptop. Even my cheap 2 year old Acer will out-game yours..so...
