I see so many people saying they can overclock this mobile right out of the box at 12 multiplier and 200 external.

When I go into my Softmenu and set it this way (btw it says unknown CPU type grayed out at the top - only User Define is able to be set), then save and exit, the system beeps and my monitor turns off.

I have to clear settings and leave it at Optimized Defaults.

I am running supposedly at 801 mhz now, 133 mhz external and 6 multiplier in order to get online and ask for help.

I also have 512x2 PC3200 Corsair RAM.

I did notice in the Softmenu settings an option (don't remember the name) that you either disable or enable and the sidebar description said if you enable this setting it would use the overclocked settings, so I enabled this setting.

running at 135x16 now.

150 got me past my hardware profile selection screen but it went black before the XP screen.

How do people get 200x12 "right out of the box" (sigh)...

This is all at system default core voltage.

I tried 200x10 @ 1.6v and couldn't POST. Monitor turned off again.
