    Need help with overclocking my Acer 6930Z

    Just bought an Acer Aspire 6930Z for multimedia purposes but I wouldn't mind playing some low end games on this like Left 4 Dead but I know I need to overclock to at least play it on the bare minimum without lag.

    My specs.
    Intel T4200 @ 2GHz
    3GB DDR2 RAM
    GMA 4500MHD (LOL)

    I have experience overclocking proper graphic cards with dedicated vram but for a onboard card, I have absolutely no idea. Can someone tell me what program I should use and what values I should use? RivaTuner is what I use normally. Please don't tell me to slowly raise the bar by bit by bit. I'm too lazy to spend that much time on a GMA. So can a 4500MHD overclocked user tell me his/her values used?

    I'm not sure about GMA 4500MHD but normally IGPs are NOT overclockable.
