    Did you try using setfsb without flashing?

    Are you sure your notebook has the same clock generator (PLL)?

    Can you select the PLL you think is right. Then click on the "diagnosis" tab. Then click on "getfsb" and post a screenshot here?

    he would have an intel chip. i also tried one version a while back with no results. never really pursued it any further and just settled with the turbo button taking me to 3ghz. yes i had the correct pll chip input and also remember the "get info" or whatever it was called working correctly.

    If you had the PLL datasheet it would be not to hard to fix this.

    I looked around and could not find the datasheet.

    If someone could email Abo (creator of setfsb) and ask for the datasheet for that PLL then it would give you a better chance to overclock.

    I will try to find a simmilar datasheet for now...

    Usually the problem with setfsb not working is that TME mode is enabled.
    I had this problem and I fixed it with a simple PLL pin mod.
    You can see that in the thread in my sig.

    But it's hard to say what your problem is without the datasheet :(

    That's cool, I appreciate the help that you gave me - I can always just stick with the turbo button - Main issue with that is that even set at 20% I only get 2.5 out of 2.4 Quad machine ....
