use powerstrip or rage3d tweaker. bring up the core 5mhz at the time and run 3dmark to make sure the card runs stable, after you are done with the core, do the same thing with memory

It's important to know who's the manufacturer of the card.
In the past, it was only ATI.
Now there are several card manufacturers that make cards based on ATi chips.
If Ati's the manufacturer, you can easily overclock the card - yes, you may try PowerStrip.
Be sure your card fan is good and working.

Also, with the DV, you might want an extra fan to blow near the unit. The extra components generate some extra heat, so that could limit your overclockability.

I believe they used lower speed memory to reduce the cost as well. Check out what speed it is. That might limit you just a bit.
