I does not like netbooks. But seriously, does this graphics bump mess something up in some way, be it battery or something like that?

it should (understandably) cut down battery life. running at full I actually didn't notice too much of a hit to my battery life.
otherwise, it is apparently 100% safe overclocking. it doesn't cause the hardware to have to run physically harder... as my rudimentary understanding is

it's not 100 % safe. It causes more power consumption == More heat.
If your laptop isn't up to that you could damage it seriously.

You should try the Windows 95 patch released a while back. It's XP compatible (as far as I recall) and makes it a native Windows game (probably with DirectX acceleration; I forget) and as such should run much faster than in DOSBox.

I read about this a while ago. Apparently it's strictly speaking not overclocking, it's more like "de-underclocking". Apparently the GMA950 is capable of running at 400 MHz, but is underclocked on LV chipsets like those used in netbooks and many laptops.
This would mean that the chip itself is perfectly capable of running at the full speed, but the cooling system in the laptop might not be. The people who made this application claim that this de-underclocking has "minimal to no" impact on battery life or heat, though.
Usually when you overclock something you have to increase the voltage to the chip in order to make it work. The higher voltage and the higher frequency both contribute to increases in power and heat, but voltage is the largest factor. Power and heat scales in proportion to the cube of the voltage. This GMA950 stuff does not involve modifying any voltages though, so that could explain why they claim minimal impact.
I wouldn't trust their claim 100% though, so if you start experiencing random freezes or crashes you might want to stop using their application.

very interesting indeed.
especially interested in the bulle candy performance gain, that gamer runs really slowly for some reason on my samsung nc10
i think ill check around a bit more for comments, especially heat related ones, before i try it out myself.
some tests have been run on it here....

I use d2x rebirth usually, i just went with the dosbox original because it chugs on my eee

i was hoping my gma 965 might be helped, but no it's not supported.
what was the name of that other graphics program?

What, you mean 3D Analyse?

no, no, it's much different.

do you mean something like amd's fusion?

no, it's a third party app that's pay to use, has great dual monitor features, I can't remember the name of it at all.. it works for almost any video card, onboard or off..

Hmm... how about powerstrip?

THAT'S IT!
