    by that, do u mean that they can OC ur card? or that its already OC'd?

    the newest omega drivers (based on catalyst 4.12) come with this piece of overclocking software: RadLinker

    When u install the omegadrivers, go 2 ur display properties, click on the settings tab.

    Click on "advanced"

    then click on "advanced 3D" tab, and that'll bring u to teh GPU/Memory clock speed

    KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MOBILITY RADEONS 9600 SHOULD NOT BE OVERCLOCKED ANY HIGHER THAN THEIR CURRENT SPECS. this is becuase the memory has a tendency to show artifacts when u OC it too much because of its lack of cooling. Im in the process of trying to find some sort of added cooling that can be done to the 6130 because the stock fans and temperature control is actaully quite useless.

    If your planning to OC ur card, do so at 1 Mhz increments to a max of 25MHZ (if ur that riské atleast [ :D])

    otherwise, i recommend u just not touch it unless u've found some sort of method of cooling

    since the omega drives are modified catalyst, are they also OC?

    nah, i dont want to overclock the 9600. i just wanted to know if the omega drivers were set to overclock as default. good thing it isnt. it's just like coolbits for nvidia cards, where you can manually adjust the GPU/Memory clock speed.
