Help with an overclock

Hello Instructables community!
I have a laptop and it has been driving me crazy recently!
Specifically the graphics card has been driving me crazy, its an integrated mobile Intel(R) 965 express chipset family chip running at 470mhz with 256mb of graphics ram ("stolen" from the normal ram and controlled by the OS)
I was wondering if anybody knows of a program that is capable of overclocking it, I have tried rivatuner and power strip with no luck, rivatuner didn't even recognize the card and power strip wouldn't let me change the clocks.
I want to make sure that I can change the clocks before I upgrade the ram.

BTW: the specs on the computer are as follows:
Compaq Prescario c700t CTO
Intel Celeron @ 1.7ghz
1 GB of shared system and graphics ram (soon to be upgraded)
80GB SATA toshiba hard drive
Windows Vista Home Basic sp2

I'm afraid not bro. More ram is about all the justice you can do that GMA garb

Oh, maybe overclock the actual CPU

Because the Rams shared you'd have to clock the ram if it has none of of its own ram, but even then that may cause issues with the card recognizing the card...

Last word should be ram, not card...
