[SpacetitoX clocked the graphics processor (GPU) at 310MHz, 35 percent slower then ATI's recommended 475MHz. He also clocked the MacBook's graphics RAM at 278MHz, 41 percent below the 470MHz par ATI tells system makers to use. By replacing the existing ATI drivers added to the MacBook Pro for dual-booting into Windows XP, SpacetitoX was able to boost one benchmark's result from 61 frames per second to 91. The theory is that Apple's underclocked the GPU and its memory to reduce heat inside the portable. Like most notebooks, the MacBook uses a fan, and other techniques, to dissipate heat generated by the CPU, graphics card, and other electrical components, but Apple has made a point of stressing how quiet its Intel-based computers are, in part due to the use of low-powered components. ] THINK DIFFERENT!
