    Hi kwdizzy,

    First install some Ati drivers above 5.9. I recommend 5.13 and 6.2. Hypermemory will be enabled. Check my signature. Ask if something is not clear or doesn't work. If you use Omegas drivers, be sure to install it with overclocking enabled.

    Cheers,

    kwdizzy...if you installed the ATI Tray Tools and selected the "laptop/IGP" option, it disabled the overclocking features. Uninstall and reinstall, but don't select "laptop".

    Just be careful about your overclocking. Some laptops are more sensitive to overclocking than others since the heat build up is different in every case design.
