    Well, now that I finally have my 6224W I can say that this is one awesome laptop. It doesn't run Company of Heroes or C&C3 on max details without hickups, but it certainly does that on medium/high.

    I have been wondering for a long time about the clock of the 8600M GT in the Zepto, well here is mine, stock and unchanged:

    As you can see the stock clock of the 8600M GT is higher than advertised on nVIDIA. I am going to experiment with overclocking in a moment. I'll post my results soon.

    RVtune shows the wrong core and shader speed. They are Use ATItool. It works better.

    Check this for more info:

    The Compal IFL90 memory runs at 400mhz. All the 512MB versions of the 8600M GT do. Only the 256MB version runs at 700mhz.

    Well, I just OC'd the core by 40MHz and I got 3414 points in 3DMark06. I had 3310 at stock. There was no noticable increase of temparature.
