    Hi all, im a new user on this forum.
    I just recently bought a new notebook from Costco Canada.

    -=HP Pavilion dv8327ca=- Intel®Core™Duo T2250(1.72Ghz@533FSB)-17"WXGA+ HD BrightView Widescreen Display-240GB (120x2 5400RPM)-1024MB DDR2 SDRAM(2Dimm)-nVidia GeForce Go 7600(450Core/380 Mem) w/ 256MB DDR (dedicated)-LightScribe 8x DVD±RW/R and CD-RW Combo Drive with Double Layer Support-Intel®PRO Wireless 3945a/b/g 802.11a/b/g Integrated Wireless LAN- 6-in-1 Digital Media Reader-ExpressCard/54 PC Card Slot-Type I/II PCMCIA PC Card Slot-Firewire & S-Video Out-Expansion Port 2- 8-Cell Lithium-Ion battery(63Whr)-Microsoft®Windows® XP Home - Windows Vista Capable.

    The sales rep told me that this notebook was custom made for Costco only. I've tried looking on the web for specs/reviews on this notebook. But the closest i can find is slightly different, but uses the same model#. Even HP homepage dosn't have specs on this laptop :confused: I recently installed DHzer0point_0.8466 driver for nVidia GeForce Go 7600(hoping for performance boost), i noticed in the nVidia Overclock panel, my stock clock is 450 Core Speed and 380 Memory. I made some research in this, and i found that other Laptop/Notebooks (Compal H80) runs Go7600 @ 350/350. I tried to underclock or overclock it, but seems like its locked on 450/380. Is it possible that its normal or is it the drivers im using?

    Im just worried about the heat in my laptop if these settings are too high! :eek:

    Acording to Laptop Logic http://www.laptoplogic.com/news/detail.php?id=541
    Geforce Go 7600 has:
    450Mhz Core Clock Speed
    500MHz Memory Clock Speed (Mine @380)

    I just benchmarked using 3DMark05, and got 3341 3DMarks. Not bad if this is truly stock clock.

    Don't worry, no store would sell you anything clocked too high or unstable - the return/support issues would drive them crazy. Those clocks look fine, the Compal HEL-80 is actually criticized a bit for being TOO underclocked.

    And also, i tried to overclock/underclock the Core/Mem. But seems like its stuck on 450/380. Is there a way to unlock this? i've tried several drivers, and no avail
