There are plenty on the net about OC'ing notebooks, mostly general information. So, most of the times, you will be the first one on your model

After laying out the bucks for a notebook, whats the sense in overextending it and chance trashing your purchase. Limits were set on the processor,vid chip etc at the factory for a reason

I overclock my graphics card on every laptop I have ever had. I have had zero GPU failures as well despite me being an experimenter. Just because a limit is set doesn't mean its universally right. For instance, limits set on clockspeed are generally too low while limits set on core temperature shutdown are generally too high. Its all to please the consumer. You set the clockspeed low to allow every chip you make to run without crashing and you set the max core temperature high to prevent certain chips from shutting down frequently. Same goes for the CPU. Now, I am not encouraging anyone to overclock, I just don't think manufacturers clocks are necessarily right. You should just use the computer first and determine if its speed is appropriate for you. If not, then you can look into overclocking. Overclocking laptops is not fundamentally different than that of desktops. Therefore, there should be tons of guides already online.

Ah, the sense of being (crazily) adventurous , of wanting to push the limits of a device, of showing that one has a "bargain" in hand

If you are talking about emulators then I don't know what to say. I know nothing of what's going on in the emulator field right now, but I'd imagine pretty much every computer plays a ps2 emulator slowly. In general, you want your computer to have a 10-fold increase in processing power to run an emulator.

actually the emulator I use (PCSX2) is said to run much better on 2.4 dual cores than 2.2, i can run roms but the fps isn't quite high enough for me to enjoy the experience
