I have windows vista basic and a celeron M processor i want to change the speed from 1.6 ghz to 2ghz how do I?

I know the cpu and cooling units can handle this. I cant find the option in the BIOS

most likely your locked out.........you can get in to the bios, but i dont count on doing any oc'ing........dell,hp keep people out cause they think there gonna mess something up.........your best bet is to get a new cpu, if the board supports it, or speed it up w/more ram.....ya dont mention how much ya got, but to run vista you need 2 gigs minimum........see if ya can upgrade that.........good luck..........

It really depends on the motherboard, some motherboard manufactures allow you to overclock your machine. However if you've bought your Laptop from a major manufacture such as Dell or HP the chances are you aren't going to be able to over clock your laptop. Your only other solution is to buy a new Processor.
It would be in CPU voltage or frequency or something



Unless you get it from a company, which they lock it so you cant change the settings (warranty issues i think)
if you are looking for overclocking laptop. Please do not try. its risky. cause the cooling method is too low for laptops to hold. its not like desktop.



for your nfo. For intel based system you cannot overclock. that option is sealed by INTEL not by AMD.

if possible it would be in the bios but i wouldnt sugest it because u can burn out ur proccesore and mother board
Overclocking is not a simple matter. Pick up some copies of a magazine called CPU (Computer Power User). They do overclocking all the time and you can see what all they go through to succeed. Most of the time it's simply not worth it. You risk blowing your cpu or power supply and other components. Computer speed and power improve so fast that by the time you buy the fastest computer and overclock it, a new, faster one comes out.



Depending upon what hardware you have in your computer, you'd do better and see a much greater speed increase by replacing some components with faster and better units. By replacing your hard disk with a 10,000 rpm scsi disk, and assuming that you are basically application bound instead of computational bound, you'd see a 200% to 300% improvement in the speed that your applications run compared to only about a 5% increase in 'computational' speed by overclocking. That 5% will NOT show up as a faster computer at all, if you have a slow hard disk.
