Any way to overclock mobile Pentium M's

You may be able to use clockgen, however be careful about generating more heat than the cooling system is able to dissipate.

No real easy way but I have replaced the 2.0 pm in my xps with a 1.7 (400 fsb) and wire modded it to run at 2.26 (533 fsb).
I sold the 2.0 for over $300 on ebay and got a new 1.7 for $140.

There are no clock gen programs that work on the dells that I know of.

Yes the pin-mod appears to be the only way to "OC" a p-m effectively. Buy a 1.7 ghz P-M with 400 mhz fsb and pinmod it to 2.26 ghz 533 mhz fsb. I don't know exactly how to pin-mod, but i do know that you have to ground one of the sockets, which tricks the processor into running with a higher fsb, which results in a 33% oc.

As Ram it stated, you can replace the 2ghz P-M (533)with 1.6a or 1.7a (400) to achive higher speed. But I doubt if you can actually notice any performance benefit from an increase of 266 mhz. I don't recommend soft ocing systems already running @533fbs since there will be implications with other components-plus, any noticeable boost will be minimal. Quality and engineering of the other componets are also factors Example: Airflow, many controllers other than Intel chips, and RAM.
