does anyone know how to have powerstip save your overclock settings so when you reboot your computer the overclocked settings automatically show up.

also do i need to have powerstrip running when windows starts up to get my overclocked settings?

lastly does powerstrip use alot of resources if its running in the background?

is there a way to load my settings and then turn off powerstrip so its not running?

... have you clicked 'remember overclocked settings on windows startup'? or something to that effect ;)

yea i have return to settings clicked in the options, BUT i don't have powerstrip set to automatically run when windows boots up. in order for me to get my overclocks back i have to physically open up powerstrip and then close it.

is that normal? is there a way to have the new clocks automatically load without having to run powerstrip? i guess its not a problem to run it in the background...but does it suck up a lot of resources??

On my system, XP Pro and 512MB mem, PStrip uses 6,100k of memory and almost no CPU time. Peace.

BOO!!!! For me, I say powerstrip SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Seeing as u have an ATI card, I say u uninstall Powerstrip and install Rage3d Tweak. You can find it at www.rage3d.com. With 3d Tweak, there's a tab in the control panel that let's you control the clock speeds and you can save the settings. Just be sure to have Gameutil (included w/ 3d tweak) at the startup of windows to make sure the clock speeds stay there.
