Got a new Amilo 4438 with go6800 - quite an improvement after go5700, even as the GPU seems shabby by clocking capabilities. Default 325/600 is locked with original drivers (found an unlocker already) but no issue as they are slow. And the same bios bug as with 3438 making drivers after 81.26 to crawl. Need guts to flash...
But 3-6 times faster than 5700 is nice yet, and much less heat, not to talk lower noise

(ed: flashed bios to .60, no problems; no slowdown anymore with 81.26+ drivers)
(ed2: latest system bios flashed; same version, newer date)

You should have more OC room left.

I got a 6600 Go and am running 335/640 from 300/600.

[Maier]

You could oc much more, I can do 375/675 easy. My max with optimal clockspeeds in the overclock page is 400/745 ( 3dmark05 ). I did it only ones because the temp was to high but i didnt had artifacts

[zipper]

361/634 is the most I could 81.26 to push - perhaps some other driver will allow more.

Slight update

Updated system bios, new test 82.04, 82.10

81.98 with modded inf.
82.12 also now.
And pin this - hope I don't burn this lappy too soon

I got also one of these FSC 4438g, and im getting with the 81.98 driver without overclocking 3670 points in 3dmark05. So how did u get 3825, could u anyway send me the excel file of the 3dmark05 results of this if u still have it, so i see what i could be doing to improve my score. And if i overclock as you did, what kind of things should i take into consideration and is it really worth all the trouble,like does it freeze or something after 5 mins everytime?

No, I haven't saved the results Nothing special, just keeped other processes at minimum but virus protection was still running. The driver settings had been tweaked a little towards better performance from the default settings.

I personally do not find that 5-6% better fps necessary what overclocking gives, at least now, at the expense of growing possibility of freezing. I'll buy better hardware if necessary but not so far. This Amilo seems not so suitable to overclocking; some other makes do it gracefully; my former Acer could happily clock the GPU memory from default 580 to 700+.

Do u know what kind of hardware is there available to update on this laptop, e.g. cpu or gpu?And what driver would u recommend that i would use to achieve the best possible performance and stability?

Also i heard something bout a tweaking utility for 6800 gpu's that enable some special features such as enabling 16 pipelines only present in the more expensive models, and so giving bout 1000+ boost in 3dmark05 scores, do u know if the same utility could be aplied for our gpu? I think its the rivatuner which has been used to ebable 16 pipelines...
