I've have been searching for a while an it seems that since it's a locked mobile card it seems to be un-overclock-able, or at least without possibly endangering the rest of the components attatched to the mobo. Is there an easy or safe way to overclock it high than the default 2.00 GHz?

There are two ways to OC a CPU. Raise the base clock (BClock) or raise the CPU's BClock multiplier. Since your APU has a locked multiplier, you are limited to just a few MHZ with the BClock. But when you change the BClock, you change everything else that runs off the bclock too. It gets complicated. And it really isn't worth it. If you need more CPU performance consider one of the high end APUs with a "K" at the end of their name.

I know it's not worth while but it's the only option I have for a while since I don't exactly have the money to upgrade.
Do you happen to know where I could get an in-depth guide anywhere or something?
