Ponti It is not wise to overclock a laptop in a laptop environment. The reason is heat. Laptops have a cooling system that will not be able to cope with the additional requirements of heat dissipation in an overclocked cpu. I found out the hardway in my laptop. The excess heat warped my VGA mini card which made me lose my VGA. It cost me over $340 to fix it. If you want a power PC you would be much better served with a much cheaper system with dramatically more power via a boxed system. Laptops are great for playing against humans and analyzing games, but should not be used against other power computers.
