    I'm interested in overclocking my Dell Inspiron 1520. I have a nvidia 8600m GT, and a T7500 2.20ghz processor.

    I'd like to overclock both my CPU and videocard. Can anybody link me to a good guide for how to do this, and provide some information as to just how much I can *safely* overclock each?

    Thanks!

    Given the news/rumor about Nvidia's mobile chips, you may want to think twice about OCing that 8600....
