This might help you starcraft junkies out there as it may give a 20% increase in performance. I played MW2 for two solid hours tonight without lockups at 625 / 1340. (11" 1.6 4GB) Thanks go to all in the refrenced thread that contributed to these findings!
MacBook Air :: Overclocking The 11.6 Cheapest Version For Game Performance
Dec 24, 2010just got my air 11.6 cheapest version. I was playing tf2 under Os X and the performance is just a tiny bit too low for good playing, i feel like a tiny overclock of the 1.4 ghz cpu would greatly help. Considering the core 2 duo is a very mature cpu, and that the laptop doesnt seem to heat that much, it might just work. Of course Im talking about even just a lil oc to 1.6ghz.

Apr 17, 2012What effect will the macbook have, if i fully charge and discharge the battery on a daily basis. I will leave it running on battery power when i leave for the day, and let the battery drain/discharge fully through the night.I will hook it back up in the morning to have it fully charged, may be 30 - 60 mins after it being fully charged, i will pull the power out and run the laptop the whole day on battery.

Applications :: Does Boot Camp Affect The Performance Of The Computer
Jan 11, 2009I installed XP onto Boot Camp, so I can run some Windows games on it. At first, it didn't seem like it was that bad but after loading Sims 2, 2 expansion packs and 1 stuff pack it was a little... different. Windows still starts up pretty quick and everything, but in OS X... the performance has been decreasing slowly. Doesn't the things only affect the things in the Windows partition instead of OS X? Safari's performance wasn't as smooth as it used to be.

OS X :: Overclocking The GMA 950
Sep 28, 2006Anyone here that's been gaming on their Boot Camp XP partition will already be well aware that Apple cuts the bollocks right off their graphics archiectecture on the Mac side, but there are many ways to overclock those cards from Windows, resulting in sometimes massive performance increases in games/3D apps. I know it's possible on the X1600 cards in the iMac and MacBook Pro; every time I was going to run a 3D game less than a year old, I'd crank the card up from 300/350 to 450/450. The jump in performance in games like Half Life 2 was just immense, going from acceptable but a little shuddery to butter meltingly smooth.
Anyway, I have a MacBook now, and I know Apple restricts the amount of RAM available to the GMA 950 a HELL of a lot, resulting in shockingly, and unnecessary, poor performance in 3D, games in particular. So I was wondering if there was an ATItool app out there I could use to "overclock" or assign bags more RAM to the GMA 950 on my MacBook, on the Windows side, safely and effectively.
Mac Pro :: Does Overclocking Also Affect OSX
Mar 3, 2008I downloaded Catalyst Control Center and the latest XP Pro drivers for the 2600XT from ATI's site. In XP I installed the new drivers and ran CCC's built-in overclocking utility which tests the card and makes recommendations for boosting the speeds. The program recommended increasing the clock/memory from 700/800 to 760/860.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Overclocking I5 And On Mac / OS X?
Jul 22, 2010I was thinking of overclocking the CPU from 2.4 ghz to either 2.53 ghz or 2.66 ghz, to make it comparable in performance to the higher end models. I know for desktops it's very silly to buy the higher end cpu, because a little overclocking will give the exact same performance. Anyone knows if the same holds true for laptop CPU. ( I think the i5 2.4 ghz and 2.53 are identical except in clock speed, so a little overclock to 2.53 ghz should atleast be possible right? ) And are there guides on how to overclock on a Mac/OS X?

Nov 17, 2010I recently bought a PowerMac G4 1.42GHz Dual Processor. It has 2 gigs of RAM on it. It was a fair deal I think. The "thing" is still looking like new and shiny. Even the insides are still tidy and intact. My question is, would I still be able to pump more juice from this beast. It still run fast comparable to some decent windoze box. Up to how much processor can i be able to squeeze out the CPU and if possible, how to?

Jan 22, 2010It seems that everytime I visit a tech site like anandtech and stumble on CPU articles or discussions, they talk about overclocking. On the latest i3 CPU, the author overclocked the 2.93GHz to a stable 4GHz wihtout even needing additional cooling. Why is overclocking such a big deal on the PC side, but not on the Mac side even though we're using the same family of chips?

Recently purchased a new desktop so i wouldn't mind tinkering with my OLD iMac G4 1.25G Is this processor just a over clocked 1g G4? I would like to add more ram and over clock it to 1.5g or higher if possible. Is there anyone who would know how todo this? I assume i would need to change jumper setting within the computer right? What would the setting be?
I mainly use this for music and simple everyday tasks and its soooooo slow compared to my MBP and MP.
