    I'm trying to find an overclock utility for this card in my zv6005us. I don't really want to seriously overclock, just get the card to 400MHZ where it is supposed to be. I tried powerstrip with some issues. I went to the entech website and they recommended uninstalling it because the 200m is not supportred.

    Any advice?

    I don't think you can overclock an intergrated graphics card.... my guess if you do you'll most likely burn it out because it is attached to the motherboard directly and not a dedicated card seperate in a pci express slot or anything... ie if it breaks you are looking at getting a new computer or a highly expensive fix at the least.

    I agree, overclocking an integrated card is not smart, and if something goes wrong, you could be looking at replacing the entire motherboard. If you are looking to get extra performance out of that card, good luck. It is a low end card to begin with, the equivilent of an ATI RADEON X300SE.

    My suggestion is, don't overclock.

    All the manufacturers send their cards with different settings, and HP might have put it at that speed because of stability issues.

    Thanx for the info. As it is, it plays all the games I like to play. I was caught up in the whole frame rate discussion. FPS doesn't matter to me if the game plays well.
