    Alright, so I got my new Dell Inspiron E1705 a few days ago and first thing I did was run 3dmark05, where it scored around 6200 stock.

    Today, after uninstalling some stuff, running CCleaner, and setting the GPU to "auto overlock" via the Nvidia control panel, I scored 6713.

    I've heard that Dell has a feature installed on the Inspirons that make it impossible to manually overclock the GPU unless you flash the BIOS. After seeing clock speeds of up to 500/1100, and 3dmark05 scores of over 8k, I'm wondering how to do this myself. If anyone would care to give me a run through or guide me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
