Assuming that you are using the stock intel CPU cooler and some random generic PSU, it's probably going to cost you more to get anywhere near that overclock than it would to just buy a faster core 2 duo CPU.
You can overclock, don't know where your coming from Dunlop, but his cpu is from the core 2 age.

Sure you can't overclock via multiplier, but you can via FSB (front side bus).

I recommend looking on google for a core 2 duo (same oc applies to Pentium e5400) overclocking guide.

However, Dunlop might be right on that motherboard since it looks old.

Yes you are right my bad i figured it was locked. But i cant imagine a stock intel mobo bios even giving you the option the tweak the FSB.
