    Hello, is it possible to overclock this version of 1810T?
    I've read about a mode to apply, but it was for SU3500, I dunno if it's needed also for SU7300.

    Second question, is: this Kingston Hyperix 2x4GB 800MHz memory at 4-4-4-12 timings compatible with this laptop?

    Are you talking about the PLL mod to disable TME?
    Because you would still need to do it no matter what CPU you have.

    Right.

    You can try using setfsb without doing the mod, but it's not going to work.

    Thank you.
    But... what about the ram? Would it work?

    If the ram is a DDR2 sodimm 667mhz (PC2-5300) or 800mhz (PC2-6400) it should work.

    I've read that there are 2 hw mod, one is here, and the second one is here...
    They are on the same resistors, but slightly different: so which one should I do?

    I think you should do it as shown in the second link, but when you connect the two pads, use a resistor (the one you removed or just any resistor ~ 10K).
