i would like to overclock the graphics or motherboard to get some extra gaming speed. i downloaded a graphics driver that helped in FPS but i clean installed windows 7 64bit and the link to the driver is down. help in any way plz. look at my computer specs. any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
well i know laptops are throttled for battery use and heating use. but they actually can go faster than there meant to. for instance my computer is 2.0ghz it can prolly run at 2.5-3.0ghz. i read that somewhere. but the graphics can be done somehow ill just keep looking :)
I highly doubt you would get any sort of overclock on those graphics
'Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics' Absolutey NO point, I doubt you would get any sort of overclock or even decently stable to make it worth it while.
And as for CPU, well, since you have a Dell (Meaning a very locked down BIOS), i doubt, again, you would be able to overclock, i should'nt think you could hit 2.5Ghz, let alone 3.0Ghz.
And don't even think about using software inside Windows to overclock the CPU, it will just cause issues and probably instability.
Take it from us mate, i am not being horrible but please, save yourself the heartache. If you like gaming that much and want some decent performance, get a desktop or a gaming laptop.

It's a laptop...you want to O/C you kill it...given they are heat prone how exactly do you plan on cooling it? Dell don't even pretend to support O/C'ing so your warranties gone.
You want to play games you want a desktop PC not some mobile wannabe.
you might upgrade your HD to a fsrter drive. that would help a little. But as others have said laptops are not canidates for overclocking.
