Just found out this tool on the MSI U100 forum:
http://www.gmabooster.com/index.htm
The stock NC10 GMA950 is running at 166Mhz. I tried the tool, making mine to run at 400MHz with no problem but performance increase.
I tried playing some 800×400 rmvb video outputting to 1920×1080 resolution to my LCD TV . The video seems smoother. I don’t have any 3d benchmark or game to confirm the FPS increase. The people at the MSI forums said they run 3dmark and the score goes up.
I’ll be testing this out this evening on my NC10 and carrying out a few real-world tests. If I discover anything of importance, I’ll post back.
Nice find, i’ll try it later especially since the new Google Earth 5 is somewhat slow on the NC10.
Shame its not freeware but it wont be long until some Team will create a free version (Hopefully)
I checked the MSI U100 forum again and it seems that there will be obvious performance increase only when used together with the built-in 24% CPU overclocking of the U100. WIth NC10’s Atom running at 1.6GHz the performance increase may not be obvious.
So it seems that it is the slow Atom holding back the GMA950, not the other way around…

AFAIK the MSI U100 uses the same 1,6Ghz Atom CPU?

Correct, however MSI provide an overclocking BIOS for the U100 thus allowing it to be overclocked.
