Overclocking Dell Inspiron E1505

[king4lex]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a Dell laptop. Originally I was looking at one of the Inspirons with a Celeron M processor because 1) they are dirt cheap (I'm poor as a churchmouse) and 2) this pinmod gives you a whopping 32% OC which is total-awesome-cool!

However, now I see the new duo core E1505 and I'm drooling. My question is: is there a way to OC the E1505 with its duo core T2300 in a way comparable to the overclock I can do on the Celeron M?

I saw a thread http://www.devhardware.com/forums/cpu-o...lp-with-oc-a-t2500-core-duo-84634.html about someone pinmodding his T2500. The folks on that thread are talking about an Acer though, not a Dell. But should something similar work on a Dell?

Here are the specs for the two laptops I'm thinking about (WARNING: pdf files):

The pin mod only works with 400mhz FSB pentium-m's on boards that support 533mhz FSB. As far as I know, there is no pin mod for core duo to increase the FSB, since the only FSB supported by those chipset is 667mhz.

Thanks for the reply.

Looks like the link I posted earlier isnt working. The correct link is:

What about the pinmod that they are talking about there?

Or if there is no way to increase the entire FSB, is there a way to just OC the CPU?

Everything they say there is so far only theoretical. The Santa Rosa platform hasn't been released yet, and there is no BSEL mod for 200mhz FSB on Yonah, only 667mhz, the other settings are reserved. There were other sites mentioning this as well, but none of them have showed a working BSEL mod. You could try clockgen, but that will overclock the ram as well, and probably the PCI/PCIe/SATA busses as well.
