    Overclocking a laptop is not advised in my opinion. It will greatly reduce the life of your laptop.

    go ahead and beat the **** out of that laptop!!!!

    haha

    no, just kidding.

    Now, talking seriously, if you have warranty then i would go ahead and overclock very slowly, checking for artifacts and testing with 3dmark06 loops.

    As driver, i would go for one of the latest, they are usually the best ones. Go ahead and check out laptopvideo2go.com
