    Hello all,
    I am new here as I just got my M11x R2 (i7) last week and so far my experience has been a mixed bag, but right now my dilemma is that bios OC doesn't seem to still be applied once Windows boots. So basically, in the BIOS it will still be at whatever i set it to in the overclock menu, but when I am in windows, the system properties info as well as my CPU monitor in my sidebar still says 1200Mhz. Does anyone here know what is going on?

    The main reason that I am trying to OC is that I get unacceptable performance on BFBC2 which from what I understand is a CPU intensive program.

    On a side note, does anyone have any other tips on improving BFBC2 performance on the M11XR2
