Laptop GMA Gaming Accelerator for Overclocking Laptop's Graphic Displays
One of the main reasons we do not encourage users who play high-end PC games on a laptop is because of its integrated graphic cards. Some of the laptops in the market have intel's graphic chipset integrated into it, and let's be honest: laptops with integrated Graphic Media Accelerator (GMA) are not capable of playing state-of-the-art high-end games such as Crysis and Call of Duty.

There are some differences between Intel GMA chipsets and possibly only a handful of PC geeks knew of it: some chipsets such as the GMA 950 (the graphic card of my own Compaq Presario V3000 series laptop) support Vista's Windows Aero and QuartzGL, which both can render a solid performance in gaming experience while older chipsets do not. The reason for the shortcomings of those older chipset is because many of this Intel chipsets have been underclocked to 133/146 MHz instead of the optimum 400 MHz.
GMA Booster is a software developed by Shell City which can boost chipset clock to 400 MHz without voltage changes or affected system stability as normal hardware overclocking does. The program has been tested to be working with the following chipsets: Intel 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE and 943/940GML/GU Express featuring GMA 950

Remember, however, that theories put down on paper does not always goes along with real-life situations. GMA Booster boasts an improvement of 240% aka 2.4 improvement in performance, but the degree of increase in performance is highly dependant on the Intel graphic chipsets on the laptop. For example, some users may have a 2.2 increase in multitexture-rendering performance and a 1.8 increase in Pixel Shader Frames per second. Having said that, it is sufficient to conclude that there is more or less, a visible improvement over graphic performance!
The only nuisance is that the developers let the software expire frequently (every 7 days if i'm not mistaken). The only option in this case is to download the latest version from the developer’s homepage again.
GMA Booster works only on a 32-bit Windows system with Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0 or higher installed. It also works with computers running a Mac OS and a Linux.
