Hey
I'm new to overclocking, but i would really like help on overclocking my laptop. Yes, I know that laptops are usually out of the question but I know that its possible. The reason being is that I want to run PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) at a faster speed on my laptop.

Here are my specs:
Name: IBM Thinkpad model R52
CPU: Intel Pentium M 740 1.73 GHz
RAM: 504 MB
Motherboard chipset: Intel i915GMS/i910GML

Thanks in advance, and I can provide any more specs needed.



None.

I really dont think you can. Some processors (E21xx) have a lot of OC room. Some dont (The early Pentium Ds.). Also your laptop's BIOS probably arent equipped properly to do it, and OCing programs are a BIG no no unless you like problems and bad results.

From a quick google search, I see that if your RAM has the MHz to do it, you might be able to get around 2.2GHz out of that particular processor, but I doubt your laptop has decent RAM, I'm guessing its stock.

Youd be better off buying a new laptop than OCing this one IMO.

Laptop computers already get hot enough as it is. Just don't do it.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
