I have a Satellite Pro 4090xcdt 233mhz with 32 mb of Ram.
If at all possible i'd like to make it a little faster for gaming. Is this possible?

If anyone has experience with this feel free to correct me but as a general rule, you don't usually overclock laptops. The main problem with overclocking or course is heat, which is also a big issue with laptops. Unfortunately, as I am sure you are aware, there really isn’t any room to slap a golden orb or anything into a laptop so you are usually stuck with whatever cooling it came with.

laptops
Some laptops use regular pc processors. Im not sure if yours does or not, but if it did, you could always try to plop another chip in it.

you got it...laptops run a very fine line on heat, and generally you do NOT want to overclock. Frankly, considering it's a 233, I'd think nothing would do would help all that much, since the graphic chipset likely can't really handle 3d.
