  • First, word of warning. Overclocking a cpu is NOT for the feint of heart OR those without some know how. One false step and you will be looking at a smoking pile of ruin that used to be a PC. Even more so with a laptop. Your cooling options are limited to next to nothing and that's one thing that O clocking does, makes heat. I'm not sure about the proc in that mobile. You may just be out of luck if it's the "thin line", which I think it likely is. If you could provide the laptop model or at least the flavour of that AMD (Thorton or Barton or what have you),if it's not a thin line, it would help tons. It's possible to O clock a proc in some pc's bios. In the case of a laptop, that's where I'd look first, to see if there's other options besides what you're running now. Make sure that you've got the latest bios in there too. An update could make a world of difference. Other than that,looking at a mobo spec sheet to see if there are any jumpers for changing the stepping/multipliers.If there are, well there ya go but that's invasive and I've yet to see a laptop with those jumpers so look before you leap. Taking a laptop apart is NOT fun.Getting them together even less. Edit: Some chips are easier to O clock than other. Believe it or not, until last year, a lot of the AMD's both full Athlons and the semprons, could be overclocked by just using a pencil. You applied pencil lead to a couple of contacts on the die of the chip. AMD wised up to this practice and locked a lot of the multipliers internally on their new chips, as this was eating into their profits.
