Can I OC my T2050 @ 1.6GHz?

I picked up a Toshiba M115 Laptop with a T2050 Core Duo Yonah processor.

I assume the processor itself can probably overclock well, no? Assuming it was on a setup easy to overclock, what could it do?

And my laptop doesn't have any options in the BIOS that would allow me to OC. Is there a piece of software that I can use to overclock it?

BTW, as you can see, I am a n00b to OCing these chips, but I know my fair share about OCing s754/939/etc.

Thanks!
 
why would you oc a laptop? It will Run hotter and eat more power thus killing battery time.

Just let it go.
 
why? becuase it will probably be cable of 1.8-2.0 ghz without a voltage increase. and most people are on low CPU speed when on batt power, so its moot.

As for OCing, i have been looking into this as well. supposedly systool is supposed to add OCing features sometime, but it hasn't happened yet to my knowledge.

Exactly! No voltage increase = no (significant) power consumption/heat increase, no?

A 400Mhz OC with no voltage increase shouldn't add any significant power consumption.
 
So any info on how to OC? I should be able to use any software program that can be used for an equivalent desktop, I would think.

So what do I use?
 
The T2050 uses a 533FSB. You can check out the Intel Docs and hard-mod it to run 667FSB. However, such a hardmod:

1) No gaurantees it will run at that voltage in that particular laptop
2) Usually un-doable.
 
I see. That is probably not an option that I would not to look into. Are there any other options to overclock via FSB if it is not an option in the BIOS?

Thanks a lot!
