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.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
