    Hi all. I was thinking about purchasing the HP Elitebook 8530w and was wondering if i would be able to overclock memory(ram)/cpu in the bios? well, really i only know how to do the ram and not the cpu at all. im wanting the intel qx9300 extreme quad core processor.

    Nope, HP don't allow any overclocking in BIOS, even with extreme CPUs.
