I'm not sure what any of this involves. I have a HP zd7000 2.8ghs p4 w/a 128 mb nvidia graphics card and the capability for 2 gigs ramm. I play alot of games with various graphics. It can barely handle Halo. Tomb Raider AoD pushes the limit too as well as Thief III. Untill recently I never came close to taxing my processor but this site has me trying everything under the sun and on more than one occasion my machine has protested violently. I was wondering if it's even possible to overclock a notebook or is it even worth it? I tried to read through the threads but it's all greek to me. I appreciate any and all input. Trav
how much ram is installed now as you have lost 128meg to your videocard. don't even try to overclock the cpu as you can't get a big enough heatsink & fan to cool the cpu down.
I have 128mb of dedicated video and 768 of 2700 333mhz ddram. I am planning on jumping to the full 2 gigs soon. I was mainly curious if it could be done/was worth it. My model machine comes with a 3.2 p4 and what I understand to be the same heatsink and dual fans as I have installed. Also rarely does it run hot unless I am asking too much of it. Once again, thanks for all input.
i'm a newbie at all of this but my laptop like overheats without ocing...so ocing a laptop will be near suicide unless u like put it on an AC all day.
