    Yes, there is. But there are risks and... you should better stay out of this, until you will have the needed knowledge for it (you don't wanna follow blindly a tutorial and have your Gemstone up in smoke).

    You will first have to open up your laptop, look for the CPU Clock Generator Chip on the motherboard and note down the PLL no. printed on it....

    Without that you cannot do anything..!!

    No :nah: PLL no. is not given via an software....One would have to open up the laptop, and locate the PLL chip on the opposite side of the mobo where the CPU is not present....(normally seen by removing only the upper casing)....!!
    Software needs that chip no., so that you can select that PLL no. in the software, and then the software knowing the correct PLL, generates timing values which then manipulate the FSB speed, CPU frequency, the RAM frequency and the PCI-E (GPU) frequency..(Mine's IGP so, had no problem:twitcy: )
