It's easy, I'm not on a MAC.
It's windows XP SP2
with a mac skin interface pack.

It's a transform pack, there is another one on the web wich transform your win xp to win vista.

It's called Vista Transformation pack.

Take a look at MAC transformation pack if you like.
http://osx.portraitofakite.com/
The site is not working at moment but you will find the last versions in another places.

FlyakiteOSX <<< that's the name of the pack.
I'm using version 3.5 with this one there is an auto-update. So if you want to try
Try this version or newer.

If someone can give me some impressions about my CPU/GPU temps and results in my last post, I will read it.

Okay after a little test.
Droping down the VID to : 0.950v

My cpu is now at 1,9GHZ 100% usage 62 & 66°C

tested with systool:
No errors during stress test.
At 0.900v I get an error. the next was 0.925
but for security I choose 0.950 so I'm sure there will be no error.

That makes sense, I've heard about those before but never had time to mess with one, it just looks really convincing and I have a macbook pro that I dual boot to windows on

The packs are very interesting, sure after installation they need some changes but is easy to do.
Vista one is heavy in ram use. That's why I choose osx one.

ahahahaha. im going to re run 03 when i find the max overclock..maybe i'll be able to get over 4309 in 03, or even break 5 k if i get lucky.

lol. idk how well im going to be able to push it though, espically with vista running, there's a good chance i'll only be able to hit 4300 ish, last time i oc'ed the gfx, i hit 4168 but ati tray tools couldn't overclock the memory, so we'll see how well it does.

Good luck! I got my 3d06 score up from 3600 whole computer @stock to 4309 @computer oc'd, I could never do that with my laptop

lol i was talking about 3dmark03, not 06...06 would be...like *laptop blows up* my base is 3653 so i have a good shot, and i've heard this card overclocks well too. just need to find something to move the cpu faster now.....

lol byahhhhh (as rick james would say) but that's ok tpu is a great place to spend time espically when im | | that close to reaching 4300 in 3dmark03, i bet if i still had that magical thing called xp installed id have it...oh well. i'll just have to try and get it in the winter when ambient is lower (but the gfx card never went over 50 C, it's not possible it's heat is it?)

Well yes, it is possible but I doubt it. Ultimately with your ability to control the fan speeds it should be fine.

You know that little clockgen guide I posted? Do you think I should put it in the first post?

yeah, the guide would do best in the first page, so you don't have to repost that for future laptop overclockers yeah....im just thinking it's the card hitting the limits....maybe vista sp1 will have "performance upgrades" aka...actually making vista for gaming.

NHC IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! I LOVE NHC. oh thank god, i hated rm clock, and hdtune, two programs when nhc can do both of those functions, and more

I love NHC so much I installed it one my desktop!

What do you think about the first page? Is the guide easy to follow?

Oh man, I fried my 7600GT

Here's what I posted in the 3dmark score database.

I fucked up my card. I can't play any games, I got the memory to oc to 1.8Ghz effective and it worked like a charm for 2 days, then decided I'd do a run of 3dmark06..... Computer started, and I thought why not some bf2142. game crashed 16 times. So did FEAR combat and every other game even at default speeds. The computer just crashes sometimes BSOD sometimes not. I am well and truly buggered - no games including 3dmark06 work. Could try an RMA but ebuyer ran out of this model and its my fault so I dunno if I could actually be that dishonest. I'm gonna investigate the card tonight and check all the voltages etc. Out comes the soldering iron.

oh dear....fried 7600 gt....that's why i try to keep my vga at stock speeds unless im trying to break pr...but those aren't that high. how were the temps for those 2 days on the card?

They were around fucking 50. I mean what the hell, this card should not have bust!
