[QUOTE="fletch33, post: 673844, member: 32473"] DO NOT attempt to overclock runandrew. first of all the CPU's in Apple's notebooks are soldered to the motherboard and not-upgradeable, and you are therefore unable to access the pins underneath unlike a PC notebook. the speed is locked into the hardware, and there's nowhere where you can change it anyway. even if you could the benefit would be small and you would risk a possible overheat. i think he just wants his mac to run a little faster and adding memory will solve what he needs for his macbook.
