overclocking your gpu is never a good thing, and most of the time, you'll only end up shortening its lifespan. moreover, the significant improvement can only be detected through benchmarking programs, such as 3dmark, and not when playing your games. unless absolutely neccessary, i would suggest not overclocking the card, and just sticking to your current config.

the performance difference between the two cards are leaps and bounds. this is due to the stock core/memory speeds of the ultra vs normal 6800 card. other than that, they are both the same cards.

Dear ethanweku,

Acknowledged. Please understand my contribution more or less theoretical because I know I am talking about a laptop computer and not about the latest water-cooled desktop brick. Indeed, I like to play "Tron 2.0" or "Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb" but I am not that hardcore game type of person who is just looking to squeeze the ultimate fps out of my laptop computer. And as far as I recognize by looking at the performance values of the Geforce Go 6800 it seems that I have enough "horse power" for those games. Moreover I still should be able to compile programs using Visual Studio .NET 2003 in an appropriate time :smileywink:
