    Just looking into overclocking my Go7300 and was wondering which is the best program to do it? Ive heard of Ati Tool but does that work with Nvidia?

    Also any links to step by step guides would be much appreciated!

    thanks for the quick reply deedeeman.

    What about the modded drivers at TweaksRUs? Are they any good? Is the 7300 supported? Do they allow safe overclocking?

    Thanks deedeeman, thats very helpful. :)

    When overclocking, do i just increase the core/mem by 10MHz and test with that utility untill i get errors, then i reduce the core/mem by 5HMz and thats it overclocked?

    edit: just found a guide with a step by step!

    deedeeman, what driver version from that website are you using? Theres so many!

    ATT won't work properly with 6.4 and 6.5 drivers. That includes all non-ati drivers too.

    ok before i start overclocking and overheating my system, im gona undervolt the CPU first to reduce heat a bit.

    I know its going slightly off topic, but whats the best undervolting app for a Core Duo?

    When undervolting, do i lower the voltage (how do i know by how much?) then run a stress test for each core? Like do i have to run two instances of Prime95 and assign to each seperate core?
