My friend has a Toshiba A100 laptop with an x1600 with 512mb (turbocache or whatever) in it, running at 398/384ish. We put on omega 3.8 drivers and powerstrip to overclock back up to 470/470, which is what it should be at if Toshiba didn't underclock it.

-We can crank the core up to 470 and beyond, but it makes no difference in the counterstrike video stress test.

-We can crank the ram up only a few mhz before it crashes, but it was a noticable difference at about 7mhz above stock, in the video stress test.

-Is the crashing possibly because of the shared memory turbocache?
-Could the memory be bottlenecking the laptop in games?

Thanks
 
overclocking on notebooks isn't a good thing generally speaking; alienware produce overclocked notebooks but those are specifically designed for it. also, the nature of notebooks with their integrated graphics tends to cause stability issues even if a slight overclock is introduced.

You definately sure its meant to run at that speed? virtually all notebook graphics chips are downclocked and run at a lower voltage which prevents them from running at the same speeds as their desktop couterparts.
