    Hey guys/gals.
    My name is Suly & I have been doing a lot of reading/research on the M11X R1.
    Some threads are really long haha.

    This weekend I will be doing the Pinmod while in OC Mode to obtain closest to 2.0GHz:

    -Another mod to make it faster would be a SSD, which I also read that 3 Gb/s is the max read speed

    My stock specs
    U7300 1.73GHz
    8GB ram 1066MHz

    Any suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks!

    First of all, Welcome to the forums.
    Now to the harsh part: I really do recommend you to stick with stock specs and use whatever program you like (i for example use nvidia inspector) to OC the 335m.
    That's exactly what it means: "335M @ 630/1512/900" aka overclocking the video card from the default frequencies 450/1080/790 to 630/1512/900

    Be advised that you will probably not be able to reach those frequencies since every setup is different

    Try a few different games, some games crash at different gpu OCs. For example, total war: shogun 2 will only run without crashing @ 540/1350/875 while crysis is stable @ 585/1410/900. If you want more gpu OCing you can try the .95 gpu BIOS voltmod.
