    My computer is Acer TravelMate 420 (P4 2,4GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, 256 DDR-266 MHz PC2100S, Phoenix BIOS, Microsoft Windows XP).. Anybody have a suggestion what should I do (if possible) to change the fsb and/or multiplier (locked?) or voltage of my processor? Because I could not reach the setting via BIOS (Is there any way to get through the protection?).. Thanks!

    Laptop CPU's are generally not overclockable, simply because they lack parts that dell and others don't want to pay for (ie jumpers). There would be some soldering involved.

    * Inspiron 8600c * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo * 2x512 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * 60GB 7200RPM HDD *
