Hey,
I benchmarked my Asus M6BNe using both stock ATI and Omega 4.5 drivers (I know it is a bit out of date but I tried to use a more stable version). Decided to keep the stock ATI for they have no problems for DVD playback.
Also used ATITool and RadLinker to OC my 64 9700.
The default settings were:
Core 391.50 and Memory 209.25
I OCed the gpu to Core 459.00 and Memory 243. This is way below the max values I could get out of ATITool (with no artifacts) but I am no gamer so there is no sense to push the card any more than this. I OCed the gpu mostly for the heck of it.
The cpu was set at MAX Performance.
With Stock ATI drivers and the above OCed settings, I got:
3dMark2k1 - 11594
3dMark05 - 730
For the Omega 4.5:
3dMark2k1 - 11831
3dMark05 - 738
With the stock ATI drivers and stock/default gpu settings I managed to get:
3dMark2k1 - 10294 (and also ~10400, at times)
3dMark05 - 731
Please note that the 3dMark05 scores almost haven't changed at all. This is the latest benchmark util from FUTUREMARK which seems to stress the hell out of the gpu and is more applicable to gpus more advanced than ati 9700.
Hope this helps toclear a few things about the gpu in the Asus M6BNe.
Oh, and the system temps didn't change at all. I suspect the battery life will deteriorate a bit but I am still to test by how much.
