Okay, last question, gonna need a few things, Help with mah CPU? - Knucckles - 02-06-2010

Im running a intel core tm2 quad cpu q9000 @ 2.00 ghz 2.00 ghz. My graphic card is way overkill, gtx 260m, So question, To get better performance.. should i overclock, Please give some Links to good overclocking resources, also Would it be better to get a better CPU and how high a frequency WILL run Any wii game out. Twilight princess and brawl is what i have in mind.
noob question, is it possible to update the drivers on my cpu, will it make it better, and where would i find it for mine?

Maybe you could find some OC tutorials in the forum ( recommendation , get a good cooler for you CPU )

no ( the OS does that right ? or the BIOS ? )

This is a laptop.. would it be bright? i hear it runs 60 degrees C when in full game mode, of course only two cores will be used as that is how dolphins set up, But still... I have a laptop cooler underneath.. would that be enough to put the juice up a little?

another recommendation , don't OC laptops CPUs
