As the title says how much of an improvement would I see going up to 2gHz? I'm talking about in games here-I don't care if it makes windows faster honestly (well a little faster startup would be fun).
The other question is would there be a noticeable difference from 2.0 to 2.13?
I have options because I am planning on springing for a old 400mHz FSB on ebay and pinmoding it (there no way I could afford a new one at the actual clock).
Just wondering because I'm willing to try my hand at the pinmod and it seems like a cheap way for a decent upgrade (despite the risk, I'm a cautious person) if the answer to the original question is in the right direction.

You will not see a significant difference going from a Pentium M 740 to a 760, don't bother. The bottleneck in your laptop is the video card, so perhaps you could look into overclocking it if you want some extra performance.

Thanks Chaz that article is the place where I got the idea in the first place. The interesting thing is that I had thought the same thing and was all set to tweak my GPU clocks a bit today when I realized that the utility in nvidia's control panel wouldn't let me. When I change anything either the memory or core and click the test these settings thing it says that it wouldn't work and I had to lower it and try again. It says I'm running at 375/1200 (I would assume the mem is the combined of all the memory modules because thats defiantly too high) Kinda goes off topic with this thread but yea....
Improvement from P-M 1.73 to 2.0?
