    I second that question for Vista on my T61p, because whenever I try an overclock (usually from 475/950/702 to 500/ 1015/and 750, it goes into low-performance 3D mode of 275/301 (core/memory), and stays there when overclocked.....

    Found this .........

    On Vista change the registry key PerfLevelSrc from x'3333' to x'3322' with regedit. This forces the GPU to run at max when plugged in,

    but allows powermizer to still work with batteries.

    x'2222' will keep GPU at max on batteries or mains.

    The registry key is found in:
    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{**unique to you for nvidia**}\0000\PerfLevelSrc

    working great ! !
