    Should I? If I should what software should I use:

    Rivatuner or Ntune? I've heard that Rivatuner is a good way to go and has less bugs, then I also heard that Ntune makes it a possibilty to overclock your card to the point where it won't decrease the shelflife dramatically. I've never overclocked before and from what I've researched, I have become very intrigued.

    Also can anyone hook me up with some good volt modding tutorials (I've never done that before either, respectively lol).

    Thank you

    just use atitool, there's no way to volt mod it by now because nvidia bios editor "Nibitor" can read the 8800M GTX bios correctly.

    But u should get around 570//970 MHZ without problems.

    Swet thx, but is there anyway to go a step further with OCing other than ATITool? Or is that it, cuz I wanna crank the bizzitch up to the max when I'm gonna play Crysis (that's the only game I'll overclock on [right now]). Can you make profiles with personalized and customizable presets in ATITool?

    u can make profiles, e.g. it automatically overclockes when u start a certain app.

    That's pretty killer. Alright, I'm not expecting the laptop until the middle or end of February so I'm just getting all the background information I can on pimping out the 8800m gtx. Thx
