Greetings all, New here.
Was wondering if anyone could help me figure out if my very old and generaly pretty useless laptop can be overclocked at all. I have never tried to oc a laptop before, nor a computer as old as it. The laptop in question is a IBM Thinkpad 365e, specs for it are pretty easy to find. I'm not sure what all I can do to it, if anything, but this is currently more of a for fun sorta thing. Also the screen only supports up to 640x480 fullscreen, if I go above that it does this annoying scrolling thing, anything I could do about that?
Any help or ideas I can get would rock.

Thanks,
Adrian

Scrolling issue sounds like a video card driver issue. To see if you can overclock it any you need to access the bios and see if any options in there let you change multipliers or any speeds (would say something about mhz) Probably though you won't be able to as it will be a custom IBM bios interface.

The limitation isn't the video card or drivers, its your LCD. It only supports 640x480 (vga resolution).

BTW, here are some specs (http://www.ertyu.org/~steven_nikkel/thinkpadspecs.html) I found on your lappy.

you might could try a software fsb overclocking program...
