I know this is no rig, and it doesn't have a lot of potential, but can overclock my notebook?

Here it is:  http://www.amazon.com/Pavilion-dv6119us-Notebook-Dual-Core-Wireless/dp/B000NCUGHW

I just ordered a ram kit, so it'll have 2gigs of ram really soon.

So, can I overclock it? And honestly, how far can I safely push it? I'm going to buy a cooling/fan mat to put under it so it won't burn up. As far as I know, heat is the only real issue with overclocking... Tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, how do I go about overclocking it? Please tell me in decent detail.

And finally, are there any programs/tools that I can download that can, somehow, "optimize" my notebook's power for gaming? I want it set up to perform the best it possibly can, and I don't know how to set it up or configure it to be gaming-focused. Also, tell me any other tips or tricks that I might find useful... I'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, by the way. Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

The only laptops worth overclocking even slightly are the high end Dell XPS notebooks and maybe Alienware gaming machines.

Yeah true, laptops battery life will be going to 0, and it will overheat, unless you get the new del one that they say YOU CAN overclock it.

You shouldn't bother. Its not worth the risk. Notebooks allready run much hotter than desktops (99% of the time), and adding even more heat without any effective way to remove it, is just asking for trouble.
