Overclock?

[Gabox]

Hi!

I could not afford to buy a desktop pc for playing games, so my only opportunity to play, is on my Z60m (2GH, 2GB DDR2, Intel 915GMA).

Are there any way to tune up the system a little bit? I have poor frame rates in Live For Speed, which is mostly a cpu intensive game.

Go buy another computer. OC'ing won't do you any good. Your bottleneck is graphics.

My Z60t has been overclocked to 2.26ghz and i cannot see any improvements in video games, yes in video encoding and other things.

Like Manarius says the bottleneck is the graphics.

Cmarti,

Do you have link to a guide or something on how to overclock a Z60T?

I have recently bought a Digital SLR camera and find the RAW image manipulation a bit slow, have upgraded my desktop to an AMD X2 which helps but it seems the Z60T upgrade path is limited - any speed bump would be usefull.

Thanks!

Overclocking w/o proper cooling can lead to an instable system and hardware failure. and since a notebook's cooling upgrade options are very limited. i would not recommend this unless you know what you're doing.(i'm sure cmarti is on top of things)

as for the sluggishness of photoshop w/ raw files, first upgrade the amount of ram and then to a 7200rpm harddrive. a faster processor will help, but not as much as the ram and hdd in photoshop w/ big raw files
