Dell 1150 notebook - possible to overclock?

[imported_Negative3]

I recently bought a Dell 1150 when they had that $750 off coupon deal and was wondering if there is anyway to overclock or change the memory speeds on this thing?

It has a 2.6GHz Celeron which is set to 100x26 quadpumped for a 400FSB and the memory (256MBx2) is running at 3:4 or 266MHz even though it is PC2700.

Has anyone tried overclocking these or know of a web site that may have information on how to do it if it can be done at all...

I'm not certain but I thought on laptops overclocking = more power = less battery
That's usually not a good thing
plus most overclocking is done via bios, if your bios has no options then your only hope will be some sort of hacked bios..... I would avoid that

I believe you can overclock it, but it might produce too much heat.
To xsilver: You can use Clockgen to overclock laptops. No BIOS change required.

If you really want to overclock it, find out which motherboard version (if any) on Clockgen's website is compatible with the 1150. This is very important!!
