You overclock by going into your bios settings and changing the FSB setting.
You should benchmark in small increments 3-4 mhz at a time. once you have
found a stable setting on the benchmark, you can then perhaps adjust the
vcore by up one increment at a time and see if you can overclock further. It
has been stated on this site that you can bump the fsb up to the next level
ie 333 to 400 which helps stability issues, althought this will require a
vcore raise to help with stability.You may also want to lock the agp port to
66mhz.Course you better not overclock to 400 if you are only using a stock
heatsink and fan, or you will fry your cpu and motherboard. but unless you
are doing video editing, why overclock in the first place. If your games are
choppy, might be safer to just invest in an ati 9600/9800. Geforce/nvidia
vid cards I feel are not as fast as ati and require a big power supply, at
least the newer ones anyways.
