Some folks over at MyHPMini.com have opened up the actual BIOS of the HP Mini 311 to allow for some more custom hacks.

Here’s a highlight of the additional functionality it provides:

Some of the most popular features will be the ability to unlink FSB and memory frequencies and set these frequencies independently in the BIOS. There are also options to specify the amount of graphics RAM (regardless of system RAM), set memory timings, chipset voltage and lots more.

It goes without saying that updating your BIOS isn’t something to try unless you know what you’re doing.  There are some who have been able to overclock their netbook all the way up to 2.2Ghz from the 1.6Ghz standard configuration.
