Notebook Computer Tweaking

Let's all put up way sto tweak a notebook computer. Here's my two cents:

get Rage3dtweak if you have an ATI mobility radeon card. it'll llet you overclock the core AND vid memory!

get a cooling kit that sits under the laptop, they run about $30 and cool it down significantly.

now i have a 64mb radeon 9000 mobility...it says it can handle 128mb...can i somehow install more video memory?

You can try to hunt down identical memory chips that match the ones that are already in there and hope that the card you have has empty holes in the board where you can take a soldering irons and EXTREMLY carefully solder in the new chips, then yourll probaly have to flash the BIOS. Notebooks realy wernt meant to be overclocked, because even with a notebook cooler the inside is still realy hot. Desktops arnt even realy a good thing to overclock, you figgure that even with realy goood cooling (like 8 case fans, and 20$ of skivved coper on the cpu) your CPUs life is halfed. Your probaly drasticaly limiting the life of your notebook.
