    See this page
    SetFSB_HomePage

    Your laptop is supported so there;s a good chance SetFSB works. Get some 1600mhz CL9 RAM for the best OC results to ensure your RAM isn't holding back your maximum OC.

    I also googled your machine, it should be compatible with Arrandale.

    An extreme edition should work with ThrottleStop.

    For what parts of the system? Have you checked ThrottleStop for voltage options?
