You just confused me there. ;)
They talking about modded INF's, why would I need that? And on the last link you gave the latest versions I could find was 62.20 or 62.27. I've got 78.10. Like I said, I'll just have to wait it out.
Is there something I'm missing on those pages? Was there any info for OC'ing or was it just for drivers? Think drivers are the problem?
lol, sorry for asking 4 questions in a row like that, I'm just confused about all that.

Niobis,
From what I saw you need the modified drivers to enable o/c on laptop pc's.

My new sig is my first attempt at Adobe image ready,it's a bit boring I know but I'm gonna work on it and maybe change it all together.
sam, just an idea:
write down the o/c settings ASUS AI gives you and try setting the bios manually.If its the same result start slowing things down till you get stability.Maybe your chips not a good o/clocker.

crowy, thought you was off so I didn't post back. I will get back to you on those modded drivers either later tonight(EST) or tomorrow. I'm having alot of trouble out of my internet right now and I'm lucky to post anything. :D So, downloading anything is out of the question until I get this sh*t fixed. Thanks alot for the help, I'm sure I'll need more. :)

Well my conclusion is that I'd be better off doing it myself since the auto AI overclock meant a Hypertransport speed was 1100mhz, which I thought was a bad idea. The only real hardware block I have is that my chipset fan is either not plugged in or not working. Since I didn't build this system I can't be sure, but I'm not about to go open the case to sort it out.

Ok, I got something going here. Probably not for long though.
Just noticed something about the drivers page you gave. You said it was for the 60 series. Is that the same as ForceWare version 60? 'Cause this card came with 78.10 and I don't want to go backwards. :) I probably should have given my card specs before so, here's everything I know about it:
Processor: GeForce Go 6600
Video BIOS version: 5.43.01.64.06
IRQ: 16
Bus: PCI Express x16
Memory: 256 MB
ForceWare version: 78.10
TV Encoder Type: nVidia intergrated
I'm using crappy dialup so I don't want to download a 10 MB file and it not be the correct one. Could you give some info on what "series 60" means.

O...K, I'll download 62.27 'cause it's the latest version that has both INF and NFO, but if it doesn't work I'm coming after you! ;)

Yeah Ai leaves the HT set to 5x, so when you OC the CPU, that goes up too. Surely that's a bad thing?

Yeah, my hope is that I can drop it to 4x and squeeze maybe up to 20% out of it. of course the limit of 25 would be great, but I'm not going to push it without adequate chipset cooling, the highest I've seen it stock is 47C, but that's still quite warm. Trouble is, unlike CPUs I'm not sure exactly how far is a safe limit, because of course 47 for a CPU is quite cool, and for a graphics card is stone cold, but for a chipset it sounds quite a lot.

I've set HT to 4x in the BIOS now, and the system booted (although with a strange graphical corruption and pause when I first booted, but it resolved itself after a couple of seconds). The odd thing is that in the BIOS there's no mention of the Multiplier or Front side bus settings, only grey text saying I have an X2 4200+ running at 2200mhz. I could set every setting of my RAM in the BIOS, and it says 400mhz at present. Should I change that? I was under the impression that differed from the 200mhzx2 bus speed.

OK, I found the options I wanted in the "jumperless settings" page, but I notice "command rate" in the memory section. It's at 2T for the moment, but I hear 1T is better for overclocking. Will that make things more stable, and what sort of performance loss could result from it?

1T and 2T ability depend on how good the quality of your RAM is really, cheap stuff wont do 1T, but expensive stuff will.

Sam,
Use the 2005 version of Sandra. It's more linear and is easier to see on screen. Most of us use it for that reason. I personally have more faith in it's accuracy and it's easier to see differences with just small bios changes than it is with the newer version. My biggest gripe with the 2007 version is the dramatic change in MIPS. MIPS should be just that, MIPS!
To do the Image so that it comes up on screen, you have to do a couple of things. In the second list down select the first one for forums. After you paste it you have to hit end. Backspace 6 times and then use the arrow key to move the cursor to the left one space. Backspace out IMG and type img in it's place. using the left arrow key go all the way over to [IMG] and change it to small letters img. Then using the left arrow key and move left 4 spaces so the cursor is just in front of the [ and backspace the rest of the line out until the [ is at the left margin. They will then display properly without someone having to open them manually. I've deliberately been very specific as to what to do with the URL, but you will get the hang of it real quick!
Happy Computering,
theone

I know how to attach an image, I've done it dozens of times, but those images are a bit big to read, and with the silly contrast issues that 2007 has, I decided just to let you see them full size. Remember the issues we had with that before?
I'm aware of the annoying differences between Sandra07 and Sandra05, unfortunately at that time I could only seem to find 07. I'll have a look for 05 and report back.
