My Laptop is a Dell Latitude D520 it has a 1GB of Ram at the Moment has the i945GM Chipset Socket 479mPGA Just wondering if it is possible to Overclock it to atleast 2.0Ghz? Also is this T5500 Core 2 Duo the end of the line CPU for this Motherboard?
 
99.5% No, Reason is that the vast majority of Laptops us a "Limited (locked) Bios that prevents overclocking the CPU.
To OC you need access to A) Bus frequency used by CPU and/or B) CPU nultiplier.

Also if the Bus frequency is raised that also affects the Ram speed, which may become unstable.
