    Not sure if alot know this but for the 1722 ID2 in the bios under advance setting if you hit alt and insert you can get extra features to overclock to 20% and 24% default is 16%, I thought this was neat..

    20% brings my P8600 to 2873.7 Thats very good.

    I set mine to +24% OC and memory I left on 667MHz, because 667MHz + 24% = 827MHz. Unfortunately there is no 1066MHz DDR2 memmory for laptops. It's realy fast. :D

    I had to set mine back to 667. usung 800 and oc crashed it.. But the 24% works great at 667, I get 3GHz and its really fast. I would love to get a QX9300.

    20% OC and 800 seem okay on GTA IV.
