    1. Are there any ways how to safely boost up my processor speed without any risks? I am looking for some software / os way etc, more then messing with cpu and loosing warranty.

    2. Other thing is about changing priorities of running programs. Whenever I do this its usually kicks me out of that current program in matter of few minutes. Is there something wrong with my computer? Can this be fixed somehow ? As well, can I change only one priority of one program or I can change more ?


    Ps: I know this doesn't necessarily apply only to Lenovo or notebooks, but I'm asking here anyway.

    24 hours is required to pass before bumping your thread.

    Why do you want OC your CPU? For everyday tasks the hard drive is the slowest part, not the CPU.

    You cannot overclock any of the Lenovo processors If I recall correctly, maybe the Core Quad Extreme would allow you to overclock.

    IMO, it is dangerous to overclock a processor because it could cause a lot more heat than the heatsink was designed for, and it may damage your laptop.

    If your laptop is very slow, you have spyware/malware on your laptop and should be fixed.
