Can i Overclock the T5500 Core 2 Duo 1.66Ghz to atleast 2.0Ghz

[camtheman88]

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?

Even if you could, it wouldnt make much difference on such old architecture, but it will certainly keep ya warm in the winter.

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.
