Its been awhile since I did some overclocking the hard way. Nowadays any idiot with access to the BIOS can OC his CPU. I decided to OC my laptop since its always plugged in and no battery life concerns.

Took my Celeron 380(?) 1.6ghz to 2.128ghz via a pin mod - 400fsb to 533fsb.. After 4hrs of running mpegs and other stuffs, it runs 4'C cooler then it did at 1.6ghz. ....mostly in part to the better thermo paste I used over Toshiba's stock stuff.

Free upgrade.. ..minus an hour's time to take my Satellite apart and the sacreficing of a couple fine strands of speaker wire.

Oh now ya tell me to write something up... lol

I used a couple other fellow's guides on how to do it. I wish they'd make a simple access cover for the CPU and HSF.

Disassembly of Toshiba A105 lappy(this applies to my A105-S101 model):
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-motherboard-1.htm

Wire/pin mod for Celeron and Pentium M's with 400mhz FSB to 533mhz:
http://www.overclockers.com/tips1232/index.asp

Be warned, The faster 400fsb Pentium M's max out real fast. Keep in mind your multiplier and what you would have at 533fsb. An 1.8ghz P-M with 18x multi may be too much for 133/533fsb.

Document each step, give it a shot, and write it up. Failures and just as good as successes on here! Laughing
