Mobile Sempron 754

Ok, now I have a socket 754 mobile sempron gutted from a broken laptop. Is it worth looking into the overclocking possibilities of this? I'm aware of the following:
-The range of socket 754 semprons are v overclockable
-The mobile sempron's heatpad is much smaller than the desktop equivalent
-The mobile chip is a 3000+ (1.8GHz)
-has stock voltage 1.2V
-is operable to 95degrees C
-has Cache 128kb

This is all taken from the OPN number which if you want to check is SMS3000BOX2LB (which i'm informed has been changed to SMS3000BQX2LE).

I was thinking with such low voltage and high temperature tolerance surely this chip will love to be overclocked.

What do you think?

Long as you have a motherboard capable of running it, it would make a decent experiment.

Suggestions?

Can anyone suggest a motherboard that:
1) supports the mobile sempron 754 chip
2) has good overclocking facilities?

Many Thanks,
Dannnn

Works in any socket 754 motherboard.

No it will not work in any 754 mobo. Mobile cpu's can be very picky, or rather the mobo's can be picky about mobile cpu's. MSI K8N Neo Platinum will take mobile cpu's but the DFI is the better for clocking. You will be stuck with AGP though.

Worked fine in a Chaintech board I had...
