    The multipliers are locked, as in you can't over clock. But you shouldn't have any trouble under volting. You should be able to just follow the first post in the undervolting guide, and it should work. If you're running 64-bit Vista, you'll need the special driver mentioned at the bottom of that post, but that's the only post you should need. If you've done what the guide says to do and it still doesn't work, post back here on how/where it failed and we may be able to help you. There shouldn't be any need for a post specific to the Studio 15, though.

    The auto-linking is really nice :). It's like having it bookmarked on your computer, only not.

    The undervolting guide reffers to any notebook what-so-ever. You don't need a specific guide for dell studio 15, it's the same way for every notebook out there.
