overclocking your laptop would destroy battery life eliminating the point of a laptop... and causing even more heat

it can be done using programs like easy tune, though can't imagine WHY you'd want to.

better performance if you don't use it as a portable
and just for the hell of it

i have a moblie p3 1 ghz that i got for free that i'm looking to overclock. i've been looking fairly casually, but if i find anything good i'll post it. there is also a separate laptop/notebook section this would probably fit better in.

Why wouldn't you want to do it?

I overclocked my palmpilot lol.

I have a dothan chip in my lappie and if I had a chipset lock I could reach 2.3 Ghz on it easily.

I used SETFSB and CPUMSR to overclock my laptop.

no, the whole point of oc forums is to push hardware to another performance level.

what does it matter where it came from. i mean ****, the parts u buy to "mod" ur "home built" rig are still brand name parts.

^ Good point.

Yeah I agree...........the point of this forum (like XS but milder) is to push hardware to its limits using volt mods, better cooling, new BIOS, etc.

what chipset do you have?
855GM, 855PM or 915? it's possible to use setfsb/clockgen for laptops.
