I know its a GM965 chipset/northbridge, but what specific clock generator do the MBPs use? The reason I ask is cause I'm trying to get ClockGen and/or SetFSB to work on Vista and I'm not having any luck.
 
Heh heh. Trying to overclock a two grand lapop? This oughtta be good.

Seriously, man. Not worth it. Why take the risk?
 
If you feel like frying your MacBook Pro, then by all means try running ClockGen/SetFSB. A friend of mine bought a brand new Santa Rosa Dell Inspiron notebook and he wound up frying it by selecting what he thought was the correct clock generator. Not worth it.
 
Hey, I know what I'm doing. I've done this plenty on the desktop side and I know exactly what the limitations are when you go mobile. Plus, I'm not really looking to OC per say, its just that I'm having a GPU issue that can usually be solved by upping the PCIe bus a notch or two. But given that I'm on a mac w/o a BIOS, I need to do that from within windows.
 
Instead of overclocking, you should try GPU drivers for windows such as:
