    I decided to play with the Overdrive feature in CCC to attempt a mild overclock on my X1600. Problem is, I can't find it. The help files tell me to go to the Overdrive section in the View tree, but it's not there. Just basic, advanced and custom. Am I missing something here or has ATI disabled this feature on its mobility series? I've checked everywhere in the Catalyst Control Center but there is no mention at all of Overdrive. I am running 6.7 Cats and they seem very stable otherwise. Help please? Thanks.

    ATi got rid of the overdrive function in their official drivers.
