    I was considering overclocking my Acer 5920G from 1.5 to like 1.8 or maybe 2.0 so I can run Crysis better, but I don't want it to heat up so much, because heat can be a real problem with laptops. So what's the max I should consider overclocking this machine to?

    First, how do you plan to overclock the CPU? Secondly, if you want to overclock to play games better, overclock the GPU not the CPU, determining how well you can run games, by run i mean frames-per-second-wise, it is mostly your GPU that determines it not your CPU.
