    Hi jhonksss
    thanks for all your post.
    I did all the steps you mention to overclock the 512 8600m GS:
    rivatuner - 169.09 drivers - all showing up
    still I get a default set up 500/400/100
    Does it need a 8600m GS bios upgrade?

    Vista Premium SP1/hp dv9700t T9300/17.0" WUXGA/2GB ram

    no, u don't need the bios upgrade.

    it hasn't fully taken the new video driver.

    what is the date on the video card itself....in device manager
    mine says driver date 11/12/2007

    i just tried with 174.51 and 169.09. the OC settings wont stick. It just keeps resetting. Its weird how some people can overclock with drivers that other people cant.

    I used drivesweeper aswell to clear the drivers...

    You can use any of these:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010260381+1309121118&name=4GB+(2+x+2GB)

    Brand doesnt matter as they all nearly perform the same. Worry more about the price. I dont think newegg's configurator is set up properly. All you need to know this "2x2gb PC2-5300 667mhz 200pin laptop RAM"

    Cheers,

    Johnksss,
    What date are you referring to? The driver date? I have version 169.04 installed from LaptopVideo2Go and the date for the driver is 10/28/2007.

    What version of driver are you running? I'm guessing 169.09 based on the date, but would like to make sure.

    it worked for me, but it's up in the air between 169.04 and 169.09

    174.31 didn't work for me...but will try it again in a few minutes.

    johnkss my version is the 09. There is a tab I can select to run the settting at start up. Every time you start the machine you must allow the program to run. The window rating does not rise however.

    169.04 is working all the time.

    but, you must first uninstall old driver, then in stall this one.

    Is HP part# 412766-002 correct for the Bluetooth module? I have an Intel 4965 A/G/N wireless card. Am I able to install the internal bluetooth module? Can the bluetooth module be installed in any DV9700T, or do some of them have motherboards that do not support it?
