Many mfgrs , eg, Compaq, offer notebook systems that appear identical except for the rated speed, eg, Presario 2800 at 1.6ghz,1.7ghz,1.8ghz,1.9ghz,2.0ghz. Im certain that Compaq uses Intel processors rated as advertised otherwise fraud charges would ensue. However I tend to think that all other aspects including memory, systemboards, peripherals etc are likely the same. So the Q is: how does Compaq or any other mfgr change the speed at which its systems cycles? Does the system do this automatically after it determines which part is installed or is their some jumper or bios setting. IOW, how can a 1.6ghz Presario 2800 be *safely* overclocked to 2.0ghz?
