Getting more power out of dell inspiron

Dell laptop · 2014-02-03 19:53:52

Evening all, Been reading posts on clocking. I got an old Inspiron 6400 laptop a while back. It works fine but I could do with some more umf without spending major cash I don't have. It's a simple 2mg memory machine. CPU is 1.8. Anyone with any suggestions? If there's nothing I can do its not end of the world. Thanks.

Thats about all you can do , you're going to be pretty limited by the CPU there.
SSD should speed things up nicely and is a good investment for future machines etc,
