    Do any of you have any knowledge of a reliable program for overclocking the ATI Radeon X200M?

    I tried the omega drivers, big sytem crash! Won't be going there again[V]

    Thanks,

    Cope

    I wouldn't recommend attempting to overclock your X200M.. After reading several user reviews on Gamespot, Bluenews and similar websites, your video card really shouldn't be overclocked.. Its funny because, there have been several benchmark tests on that card showing its inferiority to the ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 and EVEN the 9600 at times. Both these cards run higher end games better at higher resolutions and FPS. As for your problem... ugh. If the omega drivers can't help, I'm not sure what you can do. Are you sure you downloaded the correct Omega drivers for your specific video card?

    From the what its worth department, I determined HP, for what ever reason, has under clocked the X200M. According to the ATI website, the X200M's core is designed to run at 350. The X200M installed in the ZV6000 is running at 300.

    I havent used any of them on this card yet, because my laptop isnt here yet, but try ATItool, or powerstrip. If those dont work, i dont know of any other tools!
