[QUOTE="Crisis, post: 132628, member: 7905"] Here's a quote from a laptop forum: " I've had the 7426gx for a little over a week now. The video card is indeed identical to a 9600...and it's overclocking ability is nothing short of amazing. It's default core clock is 300Mhz...using ATITool I learned that it could run at 418MHz with no errors indefinitely. The ram can only go to 216 from 202 though. To play it safe, I run mine at 400/215 when benchmarking. In games, I don't bother to overclock. I can play Doom 3 at 1024x768 with all effects on (except AA) and it runs okay. Sometimes it dips down to 15fps in areas with a lot of lights and activities, but those are rare. In corridors it gets over 50fps and it averages over 30.
