Before i start, i would like to say that im just interested in knowing what i can conceptually do to overclock my laptop. So i hope that you guys will not start saying that, "nono, you should stop thinking about overclocking your laptop since it will only cause more trouble than performance gain" or any of the similiar comments because i am fully aware of that. by having those said, i wanted to learn and know about few things regarding Intel 915PM mobo running on Centrino 730 1.6Ghz (12x133Mhz) with a 1Gb PC2700 DDR RAM @ 333Mhz.


1. When checking CPU-Z, I found out that my FSB:DRAM is locked to a 4:5 ratio. Which means that my FSB running at 133Mhz while my DRAM is running at 166Mhz at the default speed. Is there anyway for me to unlock this ratio so that i can increase my FSB to 166Mhz (yes overclock) without touching the DRAM frequency?

2. By nature of overclocking, is a low multiplier with high FSB preferred over high multiplier with low FSB? If yes, does it make sense that i lower the multiplier of my CPU (by utilizing the speedstep tech) let's say to 10x and increasing my FSB to 166Mhz while maintaining the clock around ~1.6Ghz to get a better performance? Of course, DRAM frequency need to be locked in this case.


As you can see, situation 2 is dependant on situation 1, meaning that in the end, i still have to find a way to change the FSB:DRAM ratio to 1:1 and i have yet to find the solution. Hence, to all experts out there, have anyone has actually found a way or tried themselves to overcome this problem? Further positive comments and suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you for reading!
