Overclocking a desktop in which you can upgrade the fan and control the thermal properties in the large case is risky but can be countered with proper modifications.
Overclocking a laptop with cramped internals, more expensive parts and less customization available is not something that I could in good conscious advise on in a technical support forum. The purpose of a portable computer is that portability to come without a reliability cost. If you want to sacrifice one or the other, you can but I'd rather advise people on gaining it
There is an alternative way to oc your notebook.. Since you cant do much via bios... Software mod is the only solution... there are many programs out there which you can use to oc your notebook..
but do keep in mind.. Due to the limited cooling you have on your notebook.. OC it, which means you might Kill your Notebook.. Plus you might void the warranty too..

The settings are in your BIOS - wait - Dell lock the BIOS and won't allow overclocking... Doh!!
Video can be overclocked from hacked drivers - check the Video forum.

I can make one.
Just don't do it.
