Is there any way to speed up one of these poor CPUs? If yes, it's really silly. What software would you need and how would you do it? Any tutorials would be great. I'm not concerned about the heat since it's already down a lot because of my setup. Just curious if this CPU can be overclocked? Thanks.

LMFAO!!!!! You're laughing, that was funny. But actually, I have another question—I've heard about these laptop external video card adapters on eBay for around 50 to 70 dollars. Do they really function?

The processor functions excellently alongside an SSD. the video features are ineffective, but it remains quite efficient for Microsoft word and Google chrome.

The processor functions excellently with an SSD. The video features are not useful, but it still performs well for Microsoft word and Google chrome.
Even with the external video card adapter connected, I haven't noticed any issues.

Without checking, I understand you switch the wireless card for a video card cable and then use it to play games on an external monitor. You’d still require a desktop power supply and a video card to operate. By that point, there’s little point in considering it, in my view. You’d end up with the 380m holding back any newer cards over $150, and it would be better to check a computer—desktop or laptop—that can handle gaming.

I'm not certain if he's referring to the external PCIe option or a USB solution. The USB setup functions adequately for its purpose, business graphics are fine; YouTube videos perform well on the ones we use at work, though gaming isn't expected.
