NGO 6.4 and ATT Clock Issue on Mobility 9600

Hi driverheaven folks, (1st post, clear throat, cough, cough)

Yesterday I installed NGO's 6.4 on my laptop and I must say the driver is really awesome and performs very well on default settings. However, I found that ATI Tray Tools's Under-/Overclocking Settings always get magically overruled by the driver on my card. Let me give you an example: I've disabled powerplay in the CP and only use ATT for clock settings and so on. On normal desktop-use I'd like to have 104MHz Core and 104MHz Ram. However, when I start an 3d-intensive app the driver ramps up to default 340/230MHz although I would like to have it stay low. Same with overclocking. For example if I try a modest overclock of 380/240 and start the app (Aquamark/3DMark etc. u name it), it will always only run in default clock speeds, altough I don't have 2d/3d Auto-Overclocking or such enabled in ATT, and even OSD claims the card to be running in overclocked mode, but it doesn't
On return to the desktop and putting the mouse pointer over the icon, it will show me my overclocked settings, but when I enter ATTs Overclocking Settings, the clockspeeds have, as if by magic, returned to their BIOS default values
Never experienced anything like this with any modded driver set, and I tried a lot of them. Last version of DHZs gave me a BSOD upon installation, so I'd like to stick with NGO's, since they outperform any other set on my card.##

Anyone had, or ever heard of this weird behaviour b4??

thx for your time
