    YES... straight from ati comes an utility that help you clock your card the way you want... works on both XP and Vista 32/64(tested on my vista 64 setup)
    anyway.... it works through CCC i think

    1. overclock - for greater performance (BE CAREFULL - you will damage your card if you go too high ... or overclock for an extended period of time)

    2. underclock - my personal favorite ... for greater battery life AND less fan action :D

    Interesting...most OCing tools don't allow you to change the GPU voltages like PowerPlay does, so maybe this will make that happen? Nothing more attractive then lowering voltages and clock speed...

    Seriously, on battery I want my GPU to be about as powerful as the GMA950.

    well... there is no point in adjusting voltages for the GPU... since it's already dynamic ... all you need to so is lower the frequency and it will use less power...

    I was under the impression that only PowerPlay was able to lower the voltages (so something like ATITools would not).

    But this is nice...I've never really gotten any OCing to work, so there is hope for me with this new tool. Now I just need a notebook cooler...

    Can this only do AMD or can I use it with my Intel???

    EDIT : Actually, ignore me - I've just found out I can't - is there anything that I can use for intel and nVidia though???

    Well, any Intel card is crap for gaming...so don't worry about OCing it. The results would not be much better than the original...
