You are not going to be able to change the CPU settings on any typical laptop. Same goes for memory settings. Vendors don't want you messing with those settings, doing possible damage to the system.

I think you are stuck with what you have. Sorry.

Sure, but that is something completely different. OEM desktop and laptop systems RARELY ever allow the user to change CPU and memory settings, they limit all options for you to make systems unstable. For OEMs (like Dell, HP, Acer, etc) stability and lack of variation in platforms makes supporting their systems easier.
