Oh, it's not that dangerous if you overclock it step by step. It can definitely help boost the performance of laptop GPUs which are pretty much underpowered.

However, you should only do it while you are hooked up to the main power. Running the GPU overclocked will drain your battery real quick.

I wonder if you can overvolt the laptop GPU for even more fun

I once tried overclocking the ATI IGP in my old Dell laptop. I ended corrupting my OS and then it won't boot into Windows anymore lol Even safe more was no longer safe heheh.

You can, but only on certain bios and such..

I have a Phoenix bios, I'm not even sure I can even re-install vista without a recovery partition, let alone over-volt anything.
