    I decided to overclock my system just to see what would happen.
    Its a Toshiba Satellite A75-S211 3.2HT, 512mb, 80gig, 9100IGP.
    I used 3DMark01 to figure out a baseline of 44xx at 800x600
    Using new Catalyst drivers it went up to 46xx
    With Radlinker upping the core to 326mhz I was able to get 49xx
    and with SetFSB I set the FSB to 142.9 giving me a bus speed of 570.8 bumping my laptop to slightly above 3420mhz.
    The final 3DMark01 score is 52xx.
    I know these aren't blistering numbers but remember my graphics card sucks because of the shared memory. Has anyone else tried this? I am trying to find other shared memory setups to compare with.
    Would switching out to DDR400 help any? What could I do if I went with DDR400. It currently has DDR333.

    I would love to post some numbers but I do not have a clue how to overclock. Any links on the subject?

    I went from 168xx in 3dmark01 to 17980 by upping the clock speed to 370 from the 358 default and memory to 340 from 300 default...

    Also went up from 5860 in 3dmark03 to 6540...



    As to how to benchmark this, just goto google and type in 3dmark01, 3dmark03,04,05 etc... There should be a link to download.com or some other site that host the programs, free to use but I think you can register and post online? I dunno never did that much with it
