Overclocked inspiron 1521

I just got one of these for a bargain and i've DL'd cpu-z and setfsb but it's not supported, I tried several other programs and they weren't supported either. I have a antec laptop cooler and i'd like to see if i can squeeze a bit more performance outta this things cpu/ram/graphics card. It's my first time attempting a OC and I don't wanna break this thing, any suggestions or is this just not gonna happen?

SetFSB and ClockGen are about the only two CPU OCing programs that usually work. If SetFSB doesn't work, it's probably not going to happen.

GPU's on the other hand can be rather easy. NTune is good for NVidia cards adn ATiTool and RivaTuner are good for either ATI or NVidia cards. If it's an integrated card, I wouldn't even bother because the performance just isn't there.

Tried the rivatuner/atitool combo but it's not working. I got a ATI x1270. Is this not supported or feasible at all?

That's an integrated card, but it should still be possible. Not really worth the hassle IMO.
