I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 that comes with an ATi Radeon x1300 Hypermemory PCI card.
When I run Everest Ultimate Edition version 2006, I got these :-

Is this site: http://www.answers.com/topic/compari...ocessing-units reliable ? I found out that the infos i got from Everest are quite similar from the one i got from the aforementioned website. I just want to know, is ATi Radeon x1300 the same as ATi Mobility Radeon x1300 ? Because they are not in the same category from what I see in many websites.

One more thing I would like to know is, how to overclock this card of mine ? I tried ATi Tools and the bars seem to go back to the same position when i tried sliding it up and down. Does this mean that my card cant be overclocked ?

Thanks.

I've got the same Dell (hi, colleagues
Tried to move sliders up, after applying they moved back a little, but overall GPU and MEM are higher than default settings.
The question is:
1. Now I'm using Omega v.3.8.413 and I am quite happy with it. Just downloaded latest Omega and prepared to install it. What is better- install "modder" or just new Omega? Will it add FPS in games, or changes will be not significant?

Since nobody from respected guru's answered my previous question, I made test by myself.
OK, first. I tried to do exctly as it was described here , but! I had to perform step #6 (for Vista), though I have XP installed. Where is mistake?
After installation I've get quite strong suspection, that something is really wrong, or with drivers, or with modtool. ATI tray tools are missing, or , at least I didn't find them. In games there was a feeling, that I installed old drivers from 2006. By the way, I did not find any remarks in logs of modtool, it means "installation was OK"?
So, unfortunately, I did not understand advantages of modtool at all. I removed everything, cleaned the system from all ATI drivers and installed Omega Drivers. I'm happy again.

[COLOR=red]So, the question remains: Who can explain me, why I should I use Modtool instead of Omega[/COLOR]?

modtool modifies original Catalyst drivers. You dont want to use it to modify omegas drives since its not needed. If you unistalled omegas drives then the Att is uninstalled too. Then you need to manually get the att and install it.

So, if I'm not mistaking, modtool and Omega are doing same task- modifying original ATI drivers for Mobility Radeon cards compatibility? Which product is better than, ModTool or Omega? Or, another words, whos drivers are more suitable for laptop graphics?

temeteus82

Well Omega's drives are "hand modified" drives and they got some tweaks in use. Now modtool just puts the device id's of the mobility chips to the driver's .inf files, so that the driver can be installed.

[EDIT] In the end its up to you to make the call which driver suits your needs.
