    Does anyone have any idea where can I get datasheet for nForce MCP51/C51M chipset?
    If I find it, I can get us all support for our AMD-based laptops in SetFSB utility.

    Either you get the Repair/Service Manual for your notebook or open it up and look for the clock generator chip, which has the PLL no. printed on it.

    Then in SetFSB, etc....Select that PLL to OC the FSB.

    SetFSB has no support for this chipset. I contacted the author and if we get him the datasheet, he will implement it.

    OK, it is a bit different for NVIDIA southbridges, I guess....(since abo needs the chipset datasheet)

    Mind trying out CPUCool, and select Functions > Change FSB/CPU Speed > I don't know > Select nvidia in PLL manufacturer, and NVIDIA NForce 4/4X0 in PLL type, and try the FSB overclock.

    nForces can be overclocked using the Nvidia System Tools (nTune) available from nvidia.com.
