I did say it was oversimplified. Ok, how's this for an example of clock/power consumption. Take a clock (an actual old fashioned grandfather clock) and mount a switch to the pendulum. Said switch is attached to a light using x volts at r watts every time the switch makes the connection. Now, if...

The upgrade I did was simple enough, I found out the maximum settings of the board, and found a CPU to match. Socket type, bus speed, etc. but with a higher clock speed. Things draws hard on the battery which is going to happen whenever you increase the clock of a CPU. No matter what, if you up...

Realistically, there's little you can do to overclock a laptop. There's just no effective cooling to keep it under control and the CPUs are scaled differently for lower power consumption. About the best you can do is find out the maximum quality CPU that the board can handle and have that...
