I recently was given an old dell computer with an intel core 2 duo, and I was going to overclock it, but I have no idea if the motherboard will support this. Anyone know if i can check this?

is there any way to bypass these lockdowns or should i buy a cheap motherboard for that computer?
 
Most (old) Dell desktops are using custom motherboard, with custom front panel interface. Most of them are of BTX formfactor (with CPU rotated at 45 degrees, and on the "opposite" side).

If you have spare (or can find cheap) memory modules, that's the only reasonable upgrade you can do.
