How to overclock?

Hi.

I'm clueless...

How do I overclock?

Intel Celeron M 1,5GHz
400MHz
Socket 478
"Stepping: 8"
L1 Data chache 32kb Code cache 32kb
L2 Advanced transfer cache 1024kb
EXT clock 100mhz

Phoenix Technologies bios, V1.09

All I can find out about the motherboard is:
Morar
LXA740522154405DAEKS00

512MB DDR2 RAM

Would want to overclock to 1.8 or 2GHz, ish... Would I notice a difference? Is it a big risk? Would it void a 12 month warranty? Do you need more info to show me how to do this?

Thanks
Tom.

I'm guessing that's a laptop?

Overclocking options have to be supported by the system BIOS, which notebooks rarely ever have.

Yeah it is

How do I find if it is supported, or am I just wasting my time?


Thanks
Tom.

Wasting your time. Most notebooks have very well balanced power and thermal characteristics; overclocking even if possible could easily cause damage to a number of subsystems.

Speaking of overclocking, my Pentium M desktop is finally starting to die after sustaining a 25% core overclock and 73% FSB overclock for about a year (from 133x15=2.0 GHz to 230x11=2.53 GHz). The main cause of this I'd wager was running the CPU at 0.12V over-spec (1.356V to 1.475V).
