I would use insulation that can be blown in; you can get the insulation and the equipment it will take to do the blowing at a home improvement store; you may need a second person to drop the insulation into the bin, but it shouldn't take more than two people to get the job doneIt's fairly fast, extremely simple and you don't get fiberglass all over yourself; you still get pretty dirty, but no fiberglass stuck to your skin and clothes and anyone who's had fiberglass on them can attest to how uncomfortable and sometimes painful fiberglass can be.
I'd suggest bags of loose insulation (pink stuff) that you can spread as deep as you likeThis would also be a good time to add a couple sheets of plywood up there (assuming you have head space) to add to your storage capacityInsulate under them (between rafters) then nail plywood down to give you some floor space to walk aroundThen fill up the rest of the floor w/ loose bag insulationBe sure to wear eye/mouth/nose protection so you dont' inhale fiberglass, or get it in your eyesCellulose is another safter and good option, tho heavyAnd termites eat it; but it if you're treating for pests, you should be fine.
Never put insulation directly on the under side of your roofThe sheathing needs to have air so it can breatheWhat that means is if it cannot get air to it, it'll rotThat's why they put vents up in the atticPut more insulation on top of the ceiling of your house(On the floor of your attic.) That's the best way to add insulation.
The only thing you have to be concerned about is asbestos which is somewhat unlikely unless you have radiators or a hot water boilerIt will resemble drywall and it will look as if there is drywall wrapped around the pipingOther than that, most houses built pre-1980 were pretty well built and being that cheap materials didn't exist back then, it was pretty hard to take short cuts in the construction processOhand because of that- doing any demolition will be rather difficult if you want to take out any walls or bathroom fixtures.
Generally speakingnoWhile the actual chip set may not limit your ability to overclock the cpu, Lenovo most likely has disabled this feature in the BIOS to keep the laptop from overheating.
