Even if you could figure out a way to OC your laptop, it would be a bad idea IMHO because of the limited cooling of a laptop.

[Joe]

it is impossible to overclock a laptop due to the companies locking that option in the bios .. same thing goes with prefabbed desktops

Well, theres tons of little tweaks in windows you can do to make it go faster. Try, right clicking on my computer, goto properties, goto the performance tab, and click file system, then from the drag down box select network server. This will optimize windows cache settings... Yes I copied this from PCGAMER... Meh.

Tell me of these tweaks <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

[Joe]

I think "Meh" equals the pre school version of "ECK!!!!" <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
