wouldn't know what overclocked is. is that when you run your computer faster than the specs say?

i remember a mate at uni talking about this, some hardcore nerd talk (jks) and he blew his computer up so i'll pass on that lol

A lot of forums and forum members don't take too kindly to people just signing up to forums to sell stuff...

eBay is a much better way...its very straight forward....theres lots of help guides...

I have a laptop I'm about to sell to on eBay, Inspiron 9300...

OC is good if done right But it takes patient cause it's time consuming but cheap upgrade for sure.

I recently sold a HP 17" laptop with better specs than that for $1930. It was only 6 months old with manafacturers warranty. Good luck gettin 2K but it cant hurt asking. Cheers.
