    My laptop has Intel Media Accelerator 900 graphics with a 333Mhz core. How would I go about overclocking that?

    I don't think there is a way to overclock integrated graphics, but I might be wrong. Also I don't think it's a very good idea, because it is directly on the motherboard and if it decides to burn then there goes your motherboard.

    This software may support your chip. I tried it with Pentium M with Intel Extreme graphics, and while the overclocking worked well (1.7Gz to 2.1Gz), both sound and video playback stopped working while running.

    PowerStrip seems to work with the graphics I have. I'm kinda scared to try to OC through. I think I'll work my way up little by little...

    dont OC your laptop parts.
    Laptops are made for specific specs, and tampering with the clocks is just asking for trouble.
    I mean look at it, there is not a lot of places that heat can go, and if you dont have adequate cooling, you can easily murder your gfx card.
    its not worth the risk IMHO.
    Also, you arent really going to gain much of a performance advantage with it anyways. Integrated graphics are not made for games and no amount of OCing is gonna change that.

    Integrated graphics are in the NB and so upping the FSB overclocks it. As far as overclocking a laptop goes well look at my results really.

    Acer aspire 1694 (UK) 2ghz P-M, 1gig DDR 166mhz (upgraded), x600 128mb, 15.4" widescreen, Dual layer DVD-RW, PCMCIA audigy 2 (upgraded), 100gb 5400rpm seagate momentus HDD.

    I wouldn't bother with what your working with. Dedicated is one thing but integrated no. As others have said OC work with laptops can be risky to
