    quick specs
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-65 2.10Ghz
    RAM 4GB
    VIDEO ATI Mobility HD 3200 256mb(according to gpuz)
    320GB HDD
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64

    can anyone recommend to me the version of best driver(for gaming) for Mobility HD 3200 in Win7 x64, i heard Nvidia GFX have modded drivers(DOX) does ATI have similar modded drivers? also i play old games(DOTA, Most Wanted, Hawx, etc) and want to get the most out of my GFX,

    also is it possible to UNDERVOLT AND OVERCLOCK my Mobility HD 3200? i saw a thread about overclocking cards but when i try to load GPUZ or everest, i cant see the load, actual core and memory speed of my gfx, my laptop feels hot especially underload, and i cant monitor the temperature of my gpu(tried the latest version of HWMonitor but no temperatures for my GFX)

    also i tried to undervolt my AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-65 2.10 and follow the instuctions on the undervolting guide but my processor is not detected(voltage, multiplier, etc)

    can anyone here have experienced my problem and if so did u find solutions?

    No amount of drivers would really help your GPU.

    Last I heard you can use Mobility Modder software to mod any ATI desktop driver to suit your notebook. There is no harm in trying it. Also my advice is don't overclock laptop graphic cards. They already run hot due to cramped space.

    I'm not all that familiar with IGPs (which is funny, since it was a 3200 that I used to finish Crysis... at 800x600 and minimal settings. Fun times). Do they have their own drivers like discrete cards? Also, I don't even know if they can be overclocked.
