Overclock HP Mini 311 (both CPU and GPU): upto 2.1GHz!
HP Mini 311 is considered as the most powerful netbook and uses Atom + ION chipset combo for that extra edge over the usual netbooks that we around. Over at myhpmini, some folks have been able to overclock it to yield even more performance from it.
So, to overclock it:
1. Download and install the OCTuner software from this link
2. Go to the install path (IE C:\Program Files\ASRock Utility\OCTuner) and open the file ASROC.ini
3. Add this line under [Support Model]: 3651=ion.ini
4. Download the attached ion.ini and put it in the install path folder (same folder as ASROC.ini)
5. Use the program (at your own risk) to overclock your Atom!
More about Step 3:
If using the modified ion.ini file does not work well with your overclock (instability, blue screens, etc..),
change “3651=ion.ini” to “3651=AMCP7A.ini” under [Support Model] in the ASROC.ini file.
How were they able to overclock the GPU? Well, since it uses Nvidia’s ION processor, it was much simpler to over clock it using the Nvidia’s System tools. The system tools can be downloaded from HERE

I wonder how much this affects the battery life?
I guess it will affect the battery life by 20-25%
Some people report battery life of 45min less than usual.
Luke – Overclocking always eats-up your runtime.
