    Hi. I think we have same notebooks . Vaio's FW45GJ ? I succesfully OC'd my past notebook by 400mhz with CPU COOL.Sadly cpu cool doesn't work either . I'm using Win7 x64 . With my past notebook i found pll with opening the laptop , and sending that pll to cpu cool support team i got it working . I'm not going to open vaio any time soon. . Sanda has read my pll but i cannot find which it is :(

    edit
    Found some OC resaults on my 4650 . 730/850 --->8102 marks .In a bit cooler enviroment 750/870 will be easy to achive . It' passes 2-3 round of 06 mark and 5min od gpu tool renderer without no problem I'm using catalyst 9.10 modden with dh modder.

    yeah we have the same notebook.i got the gpu upto 700/850.but it is not really stable.sometimes it runs 3dmark06 and sometimes it crashes.the memory fails in rendering test above 820mhz with some minor errors now and then.my current clock of 625/800 is stable enough to run crysis warhead without crashing.anyway i want to get atleast a 400mhz out of my processor.it is capable of doing it.i have seen guys with asus laptops getting upto 3.0ghz with the same processor.is there no other way of doing it :confused:

    Later i'll open my laptop to look for pll on other side of motherboard . If i find it you''ll be first to find out :) . What's you GPU temperature at those running GPU Tool ? I get 67 celsius after 5min of renderer at 730/850 without any errors

    I'm making some progress. I managed to get cpu cool working on W7 X64 . It's reading out a wrong multiplier right now , but podien support is already working on that . Many thanks to CPU Cool crew. There the best :) . I'm convinced it's going to work :)

    i have vaio fw 139e with intel core 2 duo p8400 2.26. i am going to install 7 64-bit and am putting in two 4gb 200 pin crucial memory modules on a fresh seagate constellation 7200 rpm 32mb 500GB HDD. I still have 32 bit vista on here and am trying to over clock and unlock the p8400 for 64-bit so i can install 7, 64 (If this is necessary, would be most important answer). Is this possible and i currently have setfbs but no idea what motherboard ID is and esp since it's matched with GPU kinda worried. Pleaaaassse somebody give me some help not finding much but i love this unit and 64 with good RAM and fast HDD would be sweet just want to make sure it's possible.
