Ok so I was board at work today and ran a whole lot of 3DMark tests on different drivers and different O/C's with my v5200, I didn't run benchies on the normal drivers I just pulled them from another thread. Here are the results:

*System Specs in sig*

Normal Drivers:
3DMark03: 5064
3DMark05: 3877 <--- I think this one mite be incorrect seems to high
3DMark06: 1336

Desktop Drivers: (On balanced mode)
3DMark03: 5385
3DMark05: 3548
3DMark06: 1590

Desktop Drivers: (Performance mode)
3DMark03: 6138
3DMark05: 3560
3DMark06: 1598

3DMark05: 2775
3DMark06: 1148

Omega Drivers: (Normal mode, which is high quality settings)
3DMark03: 6030
3DMark05: 3541
3DMark06: 1594

OVERCLOCKING RESLUTS: (all on omega drivers)

442/351
3DMark03: 6680
3DMark05: 3864
3DMark06: 1730

449/392 <--- (This is my new gaming profile)
3DMark03:7034
3DMark05:4073
3DMark06:1826

I did an O/C at 470/420 and got a blistering 3DMark03 score of 7461 but the colors started getting all screwed up when I ran 05 so I didn’t take it the rest of the way. Also ran at 448/400 and was getting the color distortion on 05 but ran a 7124 in 03. I used powerstrip for all of my O/C'ing and only had one lock up when doing the 470/420 setting. Maybe it is more stable with Omega?

Also

thanks for the comparison. glad to see you got all the drivers working

ya, now if I can just get it to actual go into suspend when I close the screen and come back when I open it!

Have you tried updating the BIOS? That may help in regards to being stuck in suspend.

Also, have you run into any issues with the T60p running hot when O/C'd?

FYI.
On latest Omega Driver 3.8.273 (08/15/06)
I OC at 455/400 and got a 3DMark05 score of 4103.
Omega driver seems more appropriate for O/C with ATItool.

I only run my overclock when I am gaming, and I usually only game when I am docked. I was thinking about trying to rig up a fan or something to blow cold air into the fan intake on the laptop. (I have the mini dock so not fans on it.)
