I have an mALX and I was asking the same O/Cing questions you where this time last year when I bought it. As people say, clocking from the BIOS is not an option. How ever I think that the mobo in the 9700 is the same as i the mALX (HH or someone can you confirm or deny this please?)

I managed to clock the turion in mine from 2.4gHz to 2.75gHz. I noticed a reasonable boost in 3Dmark and also noticed generally better loading times etc.

However it did get a bit warm, not a problem for me in my climate (UK) but maybe for you. I stepped it back to 2.6gHz and temps didn't shift much. And whats even better is that I used the 100% automatic CPU clock facility in nTune. No buggering about with stuff, just hit go and reset it if it locks up

I run it at the 2.6 overclock all the time and never had any problems.

Hope this helps (unless they dont share a mobo, in which case, bugger).

The mobo's are not the same. The mALX is made by Clevo, and the m9700 is made by Arima.

I briefly OC'ed my turion 2.4G processor to about 2.55G, but had a huge increase in temps with very little gain in performance. I did it while trying to beat 11,000 points in 3dMark05, and I ran into the heat threshold where the processor slows itself to protect itself from heat.

I had better luck OC'ing the vid cards, but I had to push the hardware very hard to get over 11,000 points. After the benchmarks, I've run the system at stock speeds and I don't notice much difference at all in daily use or games.

IMO it's not worth risking the hardware for a few fps.

Not really worried but since i removed the fck, with my ghost image i can get it back... torrentspy.C0m....crystal xp>..burn to cd. boot and theres a new menu option with hirenBoot dc and then widows crystal xp ( xp mod) i used the ghost with scsi and it picks up sata and works well on laptops but since i removed it ... here comes the lamer question... how to i launch my s video I/Out ???? i have an svido to rca jack but not with me its in my home country and i'm travelling so i can't test it till i get back.... but i would like to know if a program is needed to lauch the interface or use a function key or what.
