CPU speed

[slick1]

I have an Acer 2451 Laptop with Intel Celeron M
Processor 410. ( 1.46GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache )
connected to Shaw cable Light-speed Internet.

The current CPU speed is set on HIGH , but I can set it up to Maximum.
What I would like to know is the pro's & con's of

setting the CPU up higher; speed, compatibility,
etc; before I change anything and end up with a fried
laptop.

Pro's, it'll run faster. Cons, shorter battery life.
