How to overclock a laptop?
Hey, i want to know how to over clock my hp laptop model pavilion zv5000. And how much i could over clock it??? What i did right now was increase my virtual memory file (paging file) and i downloaded a program called winmem optimizer. it runs in the task tray and every so often it clears out the ram, paging file. and system index. Here is a picture of the program.

If you want fast performance, get a desktop or bend over for a performance based laptop with a battery life of like 5 min.
Use the system for what its made for. Laptops arent about performance, they are for portability.
But yeah, laptops are meant to be "as is". Try an upgrade if possible.
You might be able to overclock your laptop with ClockGen. It's a matter of whether your laptop mainboard is supported. However, from what I've read, overclocks of more than 10 percent are not usually doable because of sytem board limitations, CPU overheat and/or the load is too much for the power system.
Frankly, IMO, overclocking on an LT is doable but not really worth it. Someone has already mentioned that an upgrade is a possibility, but that can be pretty pricey even with a single step up in CPU speed. If you are fortunate enough to have a laptop with a Merom (T7x00- which the zv5000 does not have) in it and the right system board, you may get a big bang out of going for a Penryn drop-in replacement. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
