    Sorry to say but with a manufactured major brand you are pretty much out of luck. Mfgrs such as Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP and Sony among others build their systems for stability so the average noob will have as little problems as possible. They purposely don't include items in the bios (basic input/ output system) to allow overclocking.

    well isn't there a way to get a new version of BIOS? or even could buy a new cd for windows so i don't have the sony version.

    w00t, a plug for my article :D. You should also check out stoopid's <A HREF="http://www.icrontic.com/index.php?module=faq&&id=1470&quot; target=_blank>FAQ</A> for more overclocking information.

    As mtgoat said, you have a brand name computer, so kiss your dreams of overclocking good bye. The components have basically had all overclocking options disabled, and there is no way of enableing them.

    Getting a new BIOS will probably be difficult and unfruitful. Brand name manufacturers generally do not provide BIOS updates because flashing (updating) your BIOS is somewhat risky, especially if you do not know what you are doing. Furthermore, if Sony does have a new BIOS you can download, there is a 99.999% chance it will not have overclocking options in it.

    BTW, don't worry about buying a copy of Windows. Windows has absolutly nothing to do with your BIOS or weather you can overclock or not.
