Hi, can someone help me to overclock my Lenovo T61 (Widescreen)

Here is the overclocking method im trying to follow : http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardwar ... s-121.html

This is what have done at the back side of the pcb: http://i58.tinypic.com/dfy8mx.jpg

The layout of the front side of the PCB is a little bit different than the layout in the pictures in the guide, i suspect this is because he had non-widescreen model and i have a wide screen model. What should i connect? http://i57.tinypic.com/2nm1y8k.jpg

I am using intel onboard graphics

Hello and welcome.
Please read this http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=110620 may be it helps. That topic about more interesting upgrade not only about PLL overclocking. But overclocking to 1066 MHz FSB is main part of this upgrade.
Bad thing is - we upgrading 14" 4:3 (non widescreen) mainboards in T60 body to get ultimate Frankenpads.

If your method is exactly the same as that guy's method, you should be able to put a P8700 in your laptop now with the modified BIOS LOL :D I've tested
