How to overclock IBM thinkpad 600X

[mek8630]

I have read that you can overclock your cpu by getting into the bios and making some adjustments. BUT when I get into the bios and try and locate these variables I can't not find them access them. Does anyone know how to overclock the cpu in a IBM thinkpad 600x, it has a Pentium III 500mhz coppermine core. I THOUGHT these were one of the easier cpus to overclock. I have other cpus I would like to overclock as well in other computers but have the same problem of locating the place to change the variables.

Over clocking is not recommended on laptops as the cooling is poor. Also your bios most likely cannot overclock.

I have quite a few computers old and new and I can't seem to find the screen I need to be in in the bios to overclock any of the cpus in them. I think maybe I am just looking in the right place. I have checked the bios on quite a few other computers that aren't mine also and none of those I could find it either.

The settings are most likely not there as many branded PCs (and nearly all laptops) have these options locked.
