have you actually tried playing css yet? those specs are always taken from a pentium 3/pentium 4 processor. a Pentium M is more efficient. aside from that 9/10 you can't overclock laptops

 

[sinci]

Yeah, I tried playing.


It lags like a sl*t tho. It also says my ping is 150-1000 and even when it does get down to like 20 for like 30 secs. it still lags.

there really isn't much hope for you on this laptop . however if i remember correctly you were after a new desktop build. we can help out with that .....also if i remember correctly you only wanted Intel for your new desktop, why?

 

[sinci]

Not definate

I don't definatly want Intel, I just use Intel more and have never used AMD, so yeah, i'm just not sure.


Oh, by the way...BUMP.

you won't get any more people for overclocking i would say because its just not going to happen. however i'll help you out with the desktop.

these prices are off the top of my head

Athlon 64 3200+ venice core i think its about $230 from nintek (based here in perth) if you sign up with overclockers.com.au or rflan.org and go to the "OCAU" specials section
DFI LanParty Ultra-D motherboard $199 at nintek
1gb of some DDR400 valueram perhaps OCZ perhaps costing $120+
80gb HDD ~$80
DVD Burner (last price i remember is storm computers in welshpool) $59 for a Sony OEM
6600gt graphics card $150 if you look around

that would leave you about $100 for a case. i hope you have a monitor and keyboard etc

as for overclocking a laptop the only 2 parts i have had any success ever overclocking are ram and grfx. i overclocked the ramn useing a64 tweaker and managed to get it from 3-3-3-8 2t 333 to 400 3-3-3-5 1t

was rly just for fun so havn;'t tried again since. the grfx card was a friends fx 5600 and i just did like a 2 mhz oc to see if the drivers were changed for laptops (used nvidia;s inbuilt overclocking program)

if ur in australia can i suggest msy for parts or scorptech. scorptech don';t have that great prices imidiatly but they will normally match or be within $5 and have excellent service
