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.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
