9300 overclocking help

[Ayah]

I bought a Dell Inspiron 9300 with a 1.7- (something like that) GHz P-M, 512mb ddr2 ram and a 6800 Go.

I've already checked in the bios for clockspeed options but there don't seem to be any. Anyone know of a way to crank up the speed on this slow P-M?

-> Overclocking the 6800 was easy.

check www.notebookforums.com

there's a bunch of threads over there for it.

Did you get a 7200 rpm HD?

No I did not. I got a 60GB 5400rpm drive.
I only paid 1000 cdn though.

I would first add another 1GB of ram, then mess with the proc. If its a 400FSB chip you can use clockgen. If its a 533FSB, then i think your only choice is to buy a 400FSB 1.6ghz and pin mod that sucker to 2.13 533FSB. As another suggested there are very nice guides with pics at notebookforums.com that show all the steps required.

if your 9300 is running on 400FSB then checkout this thread on how to overclock your 9300. :beer:

Arg. I was hoping that maybe there was a tweaked bios or program that I could soft-overclock with.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on a 533.

I was planning on picking up one or two 1GB sticks of Kingston sodimms.

You cannot overclock a 915 chipset. You can't access the multiplier and currently there is no software (to my knowledge) that allows you to change the 915's FSB.

Only option is to buy a 400MHz FSB chip (1.6-1.7 works best) and do the pin mod on it.
