    Generally its impossible to overclock laptops, because you need to change FSB and voltage settings in the bios, and companies like compaq generally use custom bioses that hide these settings from the end user, you could try getting software that does the overclocking from windows, but you run into the second problem, in that its most likely impossible to change the existing cooling system on a laptop, so the extra heat generated may overload the existing cooling system and fry your laptop
