MSI recently released a BIOS update that includes overclocking features in the BIOS for the Wind U100 netbook series.

You have to be plugged into AC power for the setting to work and you should see one of the above icons when you enable or disable the feature. Our MSI Wind U100 was unstable with an overclock of 24% due to instability of the memory module.
