    I am interested in overclocking my computer (an m17x R2) but have never overclocked anything before. What are the best resources to learn more about this? What are special considerations for overclocking an m17x as opposed to a desktop computer? Would I expect my computer to not last as long or require more frequent part replacements if I did this? I came to this forum because of this thread in which someone referred me to it. The poster with the same username (starwars_fan) is indeed me.
