I play multiplayer flash games a lot, and it’s a really hard thing to do on my netbook with all the lag. I just downloaded the GMAbooster the other day, and now the games I play work smooth, and only has very little occasional lag. I’m thinking about donating.

I played with several people that have ruined relationships, marriages etc over this game and for the longest time I just didn’t get it. Guess I still don’t. Blizz is making the game much easier to be casual. Maybe this altaholic needs to stick with one toon so he doesn’t feel pressured to gear up so many freakin’ toons? That way he can get in run a heroic, do whatever dailies he needs, spend some time goofing off and then move on to the wifey. She probably just needs attention/affection and if he would dedicate a few hours EVERY evening with her she would probably let him play WoW w/e.

Techmo, the temperatures you are monitoring don’t include the GMA 950 so the temps could be high…

I myself am getting a Samsung q1 ultra which on which I will be using GMA Booster on.

I have been using GMABooster for about 2 months now for playing World of Warcraft and a few Steam games with and it works wonderful. I’ve noticed an increase in frame rate while using it and it makes certain games more tolerable while playing even if the FPS dips low at times. I haven’t noticed any abnormal heating either. I just took a screen shot of my Netbooks temperature while playing WoW.

I would say it’s an overclock and getting back to the “bin chips” this is a standard practice to “bin” the ones that can’t pass a stress/and or quality control test….so a few of these may pixelate out at 400mhz also I notice a speed bump with VLC in my Asus 1000HA.

I think with these netbooks it’s best to keep the price @ $250USD because when you burn them out in a year it’s not that big of a loss simply sell the screen and RAM on ebay no problem and recuperate part of the initial investment.

Pity for us that the nexgen netbooks will probably list at $425. minus a $30 rebate…i’m not overly impressed with this program plus it’s annoying as other people made comment on.

GM965 does support a 500Mhz Core Render clock. On my system it’s a 400Mhz and I’ve tried to enable the bits to do it, as described at
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4907993

So far haven’t been able to change it to 500Mhz. Might need the link to be shutdown first?! GMABooster author is working on a GM965 version.

Quem tem um notebook com o vídeo integrado da intel GMA 950, o GMABooster pode dá um empurrãozinho… http://migre.me/QQe

Folks I’m a registered user of PCMark 2005 suite. Just have run a Shader test. Unbelievable – my EEE does actually render pixel shaders 2 times faster times with GMA Booster! Sweet!!! Thanks for sharing, Ben!! I think I’ve found a reference test for GMA950, btw… i.e. 400/166 = 2.4, yeah ~ 2 times faster!!!

You can easily find out the actual clock speed of the core by running fillrate tests. GMA 950 cores can reach >95% of theoretical fillrate when measured.

If your default core is at 133MHz, it should score around 520-525 MTexels/s in single and multi-texture fillrate in 3DMark. If the final score doesn’t go above 1550MTexels/s then the clock speed isn’t REALLY at 400MHz.

Ran my own series of tests on my Acer Aspire One AOA150 with 1.5GB of ram (replaced the factory 512 stick with Corsair 1gig stick) and Crystal Mark 2008R 4 (or whichever is the most recent).

GDI 166-3192
D2D 166-2926
OGL 166-665

GDI 200-3310
D2D 200-2922
OGL 200-663

GDI 250-3265
D2D 250-3477
OGL 250-685

GDI 400-3252
D2D 400-3792
OGL 400-687

So at 400mhz I realized a 1% gain in GDI, 30% gain in D2D and 3% gain in OpenGL . I don’t get it… I don’t understand why GDI fluctuated as much as it did and why it dropped at 400mhz. Most of all I did notice a change using programs like VLC but haven’t tested anything else.
