    tehre is, but it's not adviseable as you also have to voerclock the mainboard and memory.

    the results in two things:
    a linear increase in energy consumption with clock speed increases(shorter battery life)
    a linear increase i heat production with clock speed increases
    laptops don't really have that great of cooling, they effectively have none save for a mostly passive heatpipe/heatsink system.(component damage)

    standard desktops actually have active airflow.

    in conclusion, overclocking a laptop is a foolish endeavor. The end.

    one exception, a Core 2 Extreme CPU is coming out on laptops, that CPU can be overclocked by multiplier adjustment which affectively removes the need to overclock the motherboard and RAM. That means that heat and energy consumption doesn't go up much.
