Hyper-threading it? Putting Artic Silver 5? OC Video Card? OC Ram? New Bios? There should be some Ability on the rig. Why did I pay $3100 for this rig if I cant do anything to it?

I didnt pay that much. I got it through my work place and got a hell of a deal. I was saying for other people for instances...
 
I wouldn't ever overclock a laptop, they have thermal issues already and you want to add more heat.

I know..But what about AS5? to the Heatsinks? Possible? I have a Cooling Station for the laptop. When I am not at school using the laptop. :D

I wouldn't do it. You will void all waranties and there is no way you can keep it cool. And AS5 is fragile once cured it is not some miracle substance that improves everything, if you OC a laptop you are asking for trouble. If you want to OC something go get a desktop system or a toaster. There are some posts on the forum about laptop overclocking, I have not heard of one that turned out well. Laptops are made to be portable systems, in so doing the heatsinks are the bare minimum required to conserve space and weight, any additional heat will overload the system and that will be the end of your very expensive laptop.

Zalman STG1 has all the thermal benefits of AS5, but doesn't "cure" and get fragile.

Sure, you can do it, you'll need to OC the laptop from within Windows... Clockgen will be your friend. You'll need the name of your PLL chip, so some research might be necessary.
