Toshiba laptops are great overclockers. I got this laptop second hand, it's going to take over the HTPC duties. After I found out that this laptop is upgradable to a Yonah core, I bought a used T2250 from eBay, and it works great. The chipset is an ATI RS400 chipset, the fsb is unlinked from the ram, using Clockgen (ICS951416 PLL) I was able to clock it to 183fsb stable. Overall I'm pretty happy with this.

But one problem though, I bought a set (2 sticks) of 1GB ram DDR2 800 ram, however, when I plug in both the laptop fails to boot, if I plug in either stick with the original 512mb stick that came with the laptop, it boots fine and runs stably. Any ideas why this is? Thanks

hmm are the sticks the same brand? nice oc though!

Yes, both sticks are Hyundai, they are a dual channel kit. They each work if I just leave the stock 512mb and just use one stick, but if I use both sticks the laptop won't boot. There's no error beep or anything, just blank screen.

hey can u tell me what settings u used to overclock including voltage?

I didn't change any voltage, it hit 2.39ghz on stock voltage. Whether you can oc your T2250 depends a lot on the chipset. The laptop has the ATI X200M chipset, which was supported by Clockgen. I just keep increasing the fsb and test for stability.
