Can anyone assist, I would like to overclock the above laptop as its running a bit slow these days!! (Just installed Vista!!)

Please point me in the right direction.

It has Centrino 1.6 CPU and 1GB RAM ..

Thanks
 
I believe that the OC possibilities are quite limited. I remember reading something about forcing the FSB to 533 instead of 400 and that being pretty much the only OC option.
 
OK, no probs .. if thats all available .. I'll try it! ..

Can you direct me to a tutorial on where/how I can modify the FSB .. whatever that is!

Thanks
 
Hi,

Can anyone give me some advice on how to 'force the FSB to 533 instead of 400' for the d600 mentioned above.

Thanks,
 
the d600/600m notebooks do not support the 533 fsb. They came out long before that. Dought you will be able to force it to 533 and have the board know what to do.

With a newer bios you can Dothan cpu if yours does already have one and get a 2ghz chip for it. Don't think it would make a big difference though. Another thing to look at is depending on how old the notebook is it prob has a 4200 rpm drive in it. Upgrading to a 7200 rpm hd would make a difference. I know upgrading my 600m from a 4200 rpm to a 5400 rpm did.
 
sorry mate. i started the trend over a year ago when the i6000's came out. they had a 915 chipset that supported 533fsb, and this was achieved by changing the bsel's with a wire. unfortunately the d600 is a brother to the 600m as mentioned earlier and uses the older 855 chipset that only supports 400fsb. i do believe you can change the fsb in windows with a pll program but that doesn't lock your pci/agp so you're in a load of trouble if you overclock more than a few fsb, which wouldn't be worth it.
 
OK Guys,

Thanks for all the help!, it seems there is no solution .. which is fine .. just slower on my end .. I'm glad that I now know that its not worth the effort ..

If a solution does present itself in the future.. I would appreciate if someone would let me know ..
