Dell XPS 1710 overclocking ?

[conuk]

My first laptop to be honest.

Is it possible (maybe at a later date when something starts to stretch it....) to overclock it ?

processor is 2ghz T7200 (4mb l2 cache)
2 gb ddr2 (667 mhz) ram
512mb nvidia gforce go 7900 GTX
100gb 7200 rpm hard drive

any programs that will overclock ?
obviously the BIOS is Dell so bit different to overclock unlike my desktop.
And does anybody know the best components that will fit in here for future use.
Processor upgrade ? GFX upgrade ? more ram ?
Hard drive ?
TIA

Generally you don't overclock laptops, either because they don't support it or because they don't have a cooling system capable of removing the extra heat, the components aren't designed to be overclocked, the battery life will go right down. They are designed to be small and light and portable, you can't have that and overclockability.
You can't usually upgrade much either.
If you wanted to overclock and upgrade and tweak you should have got a desktop.

ive already got a desktop and (will build another in January/Feb) - I was meaning to see what more `mileage` I could get out of the laptop when the time comes and it dont really cope with what I throw at it.... Your right - portable was the key for this purchase ...well transporting between houses.. could hardly sit with it on lap for any length of time ! so not been able to overclock it is that important - was just wondering if anything else could be squeezed out of it at a later date.
