I found the URL of the article about how to restore the speed of the go5200 on the Toshiba:

And by the way, he mentions on page 3 that his driver is "NVIDIA ForceWare Ver. 53.03". Maybe that will help tranrick.

Thanks for the post!!!

I downloaded riva tuner like the article stated and set the clock and memory speeds to what they had posted. I saw my 3dmark01se scores go from 6300 to 7750! Pretty good improvement. Like the article states you wont be able to get the clock speeds to 300/600 (which is rated speeds for the fx5200) but I did get reliable performance out of the articles speeds 243/515. I am going to try and go higher since I know those are reliable speeds. This is a pretty good/easy/fast way to increase graphics performance.

Overlcock higher in progress!

Dear Toshiba Tecra M2 users,

I would enormously appreciate if someone of you could tell me the material the notebook is made of. Is it plastic or some sort of metal alloy?

The screen: How would you rank it? Is it bright enough? Are the viewing angles OK? Is there any New technology for the screens that Toshiba used for Tecra M2 (eg. Fujitu- Crystal View, Sony – Xbright etc.,)? Do you find the 14.1” sufficient for work and games?

Thank you in advance for any kind of indication you can give me.

I'm concerned about this to MD....I wear glasses!

The notebook material is plastic.

The screen is not bad but not the best. It gets very bright if you choose to make it that way and does not ghost much. The text is very readable and clear. There is no xbrite technology or crystal clear tech. like sony and fujitsu but still looks good none the less.

I have xga resolution because I felt for 14 inch screen sxga would be to small and unecessary.

I chose the toshiba over fujitsu for the graphics because fujitsu has integrated shiaty graphics which not matter what the screen looks like it makes the laptop suck.
I chose the toshiba over sony becuase one week before I bought toshiba I bought sony laptop and took it back!! It was the v505 series and it performed slow with shiaty 4200 rpm hard drive and sony had to much proprietary software. I couldnt even load my own windows xp pro on it!!! Called sony they told me I would have to order their version. That was last straw so I took it back and will never own sony again!!
