    While I can play some games quite well, other games just beat the crap out of my GPU like FEAR. I've searched some instances of people overclocking mobile GPUs, but I have no idea where to look for programs to do that......... :confused:

    What are you talking about? I can play fear at medium settings at 800x600 just fine.

    So can I, but I want better performance :)

    I've considered upgrading the RAM from DDR2 533 to 667, but I'm too sure how much of a difference that would make in overall gaming performance.

    It will make absolutely no difference.

    FEAR is mostly GPU dependant. You could try OCing your card, but I doubt it will make much difference.

    That was my initial thought, but then again at least half of my video memory is shared which is just SRAM being used for video, so RAM clock speed could effect that. However, you're right as it's a problem mostly based on my GPU, which makes me a little sore..........goddamn I wish there was more support for MXM, then this issue would be a "WHAT MXM MODULE SHOULD I GET!?!?!" (assuming they are easily available) thread.
