Looking to remove that extra bit of stutter on the new 1080 You Tube upgrade?? Over clocking your netbook’s video card will certainly help you get that extra bit of performance you might be looking for.

You will need to Download GMA Booster 950 as all netbooks use Intel’s GMA 950 graphics chip, which comes integrated with the motherboard of most Atom netbooks. The chip is also used on some notebooks and business desktop PCs.

The next program you’ll need to overclock you processor is ClockGen

The Netbook that is getting overclocked in this video is a Samsung N130. Download these two programs and get overclocking!!

    Standard 3Dmark03 score on Samsung N130 was 718.
    With GMA 950 Booster running 266mhz was 737.
    950 Booster running 400mhz was 739.

    Nothing else was overclocked but with these minimal gains I would leave this particular laptop alone rather than risk any hardware failure.

    All 3Dmark03 benchmarking was done on the power supply rather than battery.

    Thanks for the Info on Sammy’s N130, its good to know!

    I then tried downloading drivers recommended for boosting performance.
    On stock 166mhz GMA setting I got a 3D MARK 03 score of just 376!
    With GMA950 Booster set at 400mhz a score of 387!

    Third party non windows drivers are a big waste of time on the Samsung N130!

    Also tried a processor overclocking program called SET FSB 2.2
    This did overclock the N130 when correct PLL was found but caused the system to hang almost straight away even with the smallest of change.
    Clockgen doesn't have the correct PLL's so can't be used hence why CPU clock doesn't change in the video clip.

    I think I'll leave it stock from now on.

    gmabooster provides minimal performance,
    the clock gen program does not work atall, infact the clock speeds you put in were not feasible and had it actually made any effect your netbook would have probably fried itself
