**E1705/M1710 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** Go here first - Page 6

Hey All,

I doubt too many come here now, but I have a couple things to add.

I have Vista Home Premium showing a total of 4GB of RAM, and I have the 7950 GTX (with 512 MB). I booted into XP and then that only shows 3.25GB of RAM.

And second, my GTX went belly up as well. But I found a dude (Premise Laptops in Florida) that'll repair our GTX's or GS for that matter, for $150 plus shipping.

Hope this info helps others, Labor!

No matter how hard i try I can't manage to get my card overclocked . . . I've flashed it who knows how many time with my clocks changed from NibiTor, tried unlocking the card to be able to overclock from windows, to no avail. Do i need an older motherboard bios to flash the GPU?

Thanks in advance. . .

Nvidia drivers have been allowing software overclocking without the need to flash the bios for a while now (at least 2 years). I was using Rivatuner personnally.

Perhaps, tried the newer drivers? post 164 I think allows overclocking don't quite recall. Really nibitor should work, zzpulp is good with this stuff.

I'll try Rivatuner again, it didn't work when i tried it a couple years ago. I've tried evga's program to no avail, also the newer version of what used to be nTune. Both just revert me right back to 375mhz after I hit apply. . .

Thanks for the replies!

Nope, it still didn't work. It still resets back to stock clocks. I'm using the most up to date NBF Mobileforce drivers. . . Any other ideas?

You can flash it with the roms I provided at lv2g here: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/top...bile-gpu-roms/

Also, if you truly want to overclock, then hard overclocking always works as matchbox suggested. You just use nibitor to read in your bios and you manually edit your desired frequencies in. Then you just save it and flash it onto your card.

Yes a very long vacation. Just been doing other stuff with my time since nothing new is really happening in the "M1710 / M6300 / Dell computers I like" scene. I'll try to come here more often.
