check out www.tomshardware.com they have a shit load of info on it

Sometimes you can set the CPU speed in the BIOS setup. You usually access the BIOS by pressing DEL at the opening screen. Some BIOSes have autodetect for the CPU but usually you can set this setting to manual, then set the CPU to a higher speed. If you overclock the CPU just make sure that the cooler is more than adequate to cope with an increase in temperature. I wouldent overclock your CPU to more than 550mhz and if you do, its unlikely that it will last a great lengh of time. Another point is will your motherboard allow speeds of over 500mhz. Another way to overclock is by specific jumpers on the motherboard itself but unless you have the manual it may be hard unless it clearly states on the M/Board where the jumper settings are. If you are not to sure of doing this it will be best to get someone who knows how it is done. Its not hard at all to overclock but if you are not 2 sure, get someone who knows. Remember : If in doubt - Leave it out.
