Just so you know, if we can't overclock ATI 4200, we can overclock the processor thru the latest SetFSB. :toast:

Yeah that 128mb is the sideport memory. It will make the IGP kinda like discrete video card.
Hypermemory (ATI's term for Shared Video Memory) is there just in case the app needs more graphic memory for buffering purposes.
@John:
congrats for your new toy.
You've definitely made the right decision.
Yeah consider upgrading the RAM to 4GB. And I would suggest
ditch these tools
Autoruns by Sysinternals, Smart Utility by TheWindowsClub and IoBit's GameBooster
and just install AMD Fusion for Mobility.
With that...
Still no luck I am getting the same horizontal line artifacts.
CPU dependent games and benchmark apps are the ones that will benefit from an overclocked processor.
AFAIK Display Cache memory is the memory used by IGP to refresh display while computer is in idle mode thus offloading the CPU to access system memory.
it could be sideport memory + display cache memory. Those were installed in the mobo and not on the RS880M chipset.
Hypermemory is the ATI term for Shared Video Memory where IGP is borrowing from System Memory.
Actually Mobility Radeon 4200 has no dedicated memory so mem speed will vary depending on the type of sideport memory used.
In my laptop, 256MB sideport memory was used running at 500Mhz actual speed, its DDR2 so effective speed would be 1000Mhz
AOD will only allow you to change voltages and multiplier, no HTT. What a bummer, Turion II can easily hit 2.8-3Ghz at default Vcore.
200-300Mhz would not hurt so much, believe me.
I have overclocked before my Turion TL-58 from 1.9Ghz to 2.3Ghz at default vcore. Temp still stays cool...
Hehe BIOS flashing is a NO NO in laptop. One mistake, laptop is gone. ^_^
We just need to get Rivatuner detect the clocks properly so it can set the clock properly.
I will tinker with the registers and see what it can do.
