geoff5093 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I received my Dell Inspiron E1520 yesterday and I installed XP MCE 2005 since I hate Vista, however I've tried using ATI Tool B2, RivaTuner, PowerStrip, but can't overclock at all, they just reset to stock speeds. I've tried using the latest Dell driver with no luck, and I've downloaded and installed the latest ones from here however whenever I reboot my monitor switches to 640x480 4bit and I cant change it, so i'm guessing something is wrong with the driver/INF. All of the threads i've read on the web, people are using Vista. Is this an issue with XP, or is it just a coincidence? Anywho, does anyone know how to overclock the 8600M GT in the Inpsiron/Vostro under XP? Or for that matter install the newer drivers?
