Is over clocking the 10V a good idea? I mean with no fans wont it get nasty hot? The GMA booster btw ONLY boost the GMA950, not the CPU or RAM. This is better if graphics are what your going for and it doesn't require a restart.

Personally I'de rather find out where the GMA booster is making those changes and change it permanently. I looked in the registry and could not pin point it, not sure if its a registry change at all but it has to be somewhere that we can locate it... Frustrating...

Still looking for an answer as to what settings in SoftFSB we use with the 10v. Has anyone tried SetFSB, and got it working??

I'm also curious as how to overclock my 10v. I've upgraded the RAM to 2gb and put in an ocz vertex ssd, so I'm looking at making this thing a bit faster haha

can anyone who has overclocked their 10v put in their two cents as to how they achieved it? I have the 1.6ghz atom.

Bump...
I'd like to know as well.
I will be getting my 10v in a few days, and I wanna overclock it so it plays iTunes smoothly.

Also, anyone wanna buy my mini 9? 1gig, 8gb with XP and a 16gb with ubuntu netbook remix. I un-hackintoshed it to LEGALLY sell it, but we all know how to put it back on

Willing to let it go for $170 shipped, it's black, I will include the original install disk's of course, and an ipod shuffle (the little square green thing 2gb)

Seriously, this thread makes no sense. There is no point in purchasing a netbook with an Atom N270 (or N280) CPU running at 1.6 (or 1.66) GHz and then plan to overclock it.

Two of the big things to be concerned about with a netbook are what?
  1. Heat
  2. Battery Life
What is the point of having an extremely portable netbook (not meant for performance) and then overclocking it, which will increase heat and reduce battery life?!

It honestly makes no sense


If you are only overclocking so you can "run iTunes smoothly" then you should wait and see how iTunes runs normally on the 10v. I have had no issues running iTunes smoothly with my setup.

And you should not be listing items that are for sale in this forum, please list them in the proper section of the forums

I did a fair amount of research on OC'ing my main rig and then this. The solution I came up with was the solution I always came up with.

Boost the crap out of a mid tower machine. Cool it how you want, get the chip, ram, board, PSU, GPU, etc. to support it. But ALWAYS leave the sperm killer as-is.

I have a mini ATX ASRocks board running an AM2+ Black Phenom core and I do what I want with it. All my multipliers are unlocked. I dont need software, everything is in the BIOS.

IF....IF i want that capabilities of THAT machine, on this little doo-hickey of a machine, I RDC to that from this. I let that main rig do all the rendering and processing. After that, I have to trust my ISP will provide the U/L speeds and I can obtain the D/L speeds to allow the mini to essentially act as a remote monitor.

I have asked this question and done the homework because I have the mentality "push it till it breaks then back off slightly", but I have to go with our "super moderator" on this one. These are called "NETbooks" because they are for surfing the internet.

Not for nothing, but if you wanted more than that, spend the extra couple hundred bucks and get something with a core 2 duo, 3 GB DDR2 or DDR3 ram, and video that is not onboard.

My mini 9 and mini 10v runs itunes smoothly, just as smooth as on any other mac I don't understand why it needs to be overclocked. It would depend on the OS on the mini if you have windows just get rid of the viris software the result will be better than overclocking if you run OSX the mini scores about 150 points more than in windows on the geekbench test.

I don't understand the point of overclocking the mini's, they will break, there is no fan and heat is already a problem.

My tower PC's are overclocked, and they are fast enough for my video editing purposes, I just wanted to overclock my 10v to smooth out itunes.

My iTunes is choppy for a few minutes before it finally smooths out, and then it gets choppy again, I just was hoping to have it start smooth and stay smooth.

You guys dont have to tell us to get a tower for power, I think we know that, we were just asking for a little help.

I build my own pc's, I refuse to buy a ready made POS, and I already have a MacBook.
I did hackintosh my mini 9, but 16gb ssd is NOT enough to use for my iTunes, and I don't want to run OSx on my 10 since it will be running Win7 in a few weeks.

Maybe XP is the problem.

I was hoping someone would actually help. No wonder I dont usually post on these types of forums, all the high and mighty people who love to say "use search" or "you tell us".

Why even have a forum to help people if you WONT HELP!

There must be some sort of confusion I always try and help out if I can so I don't know who the high and mighty people are.

Your problem might be XP I use my mini 9 as a Itunes media centre what I have is 16 GB HD and a 32 GB SD card with about 28 GB of music videos on the SD card I have never had a problem with choppy video or sound it works great. By overclocking a processor you wont get the result you want more ram will help. I did check out the performance of Itunes on XP on my son's Acer and it seems choppy on video but not on audio. But there is no problem in OSX on my mini 9 or 10.
