    Could you get up to 3.5Ghz or higher? 3.06Ghz is pretty fast, but I want to push just a bit more out of it.

    Yeah as Wattos said, you won't be OC'ing an 820QM unless you can find the pll and right now no one has been able to get the correct pll and there is currently no way to OC the 820QM.

    Oh, OK. I guess I'll just have to be happy with 3.06Ghz.
