    I want to overclock my cpu (from t9300 @2.5GHZto 2.8<) but i can't find the right section in my bios. Is there some custom bios i can download or did i not look in the right places or is it just not possible?

    Most likely you will not be able to overclock. Almost every laptop Bios does not have overclocking features. Only a few ASUS laptops do.
    In order to overclock, you will need to know the pll chip which controls the frequencies of your processor. This will allow you to overclock your processor.
    The most common overclocking utilities are Clockgen and SETFSB. If none of them work, you are out of luck, and cannot overclock.
    Anyways, why would you want to overclock you already have a fast processor.

    The only way for sure is to look at the motherboard and find the pll chip and read the numbers off of it.
    This involves taking the entire laptop apart.
    However their is the much longer trial and error method, where you can test each pll until you find one which works. However this can take many hours, and there may not actually be a pll in the software which matches the one on your motherboard.

    I think you need the PLL there also.
    I have a whole section in my guide dedicated to OCing, but as K-Tron said, you need that PLL and , appart from finding it from somebody else, opening the laptop and looking on the mobo or googling it, there isn't a program for yet(none that I know of).
    Trial and error works for most people, or you can email the SetFsb creator, lurk around the forums , update ,etc.

    what about flashing my BIOS? would that work even if my chipset doesn't allow overclocking right now?
