Im overclocking my computers CPU and I'm wondering how I should go about doing it. It is an Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz in a Dell Optiplex GX260 Computer. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Find another computer.

Unless you have a new motherboard, you cannot. Dell does not include OCing options on there MBs, one of the many reasons I built my own this time around.

Correct. The Optiplexes definitely won't, because they're more geared towards businesses. And businesses NEVER overclock.

Get a new motherboard if you really want to overclock. And since Dell uses proprietary parts, for the most part (pun, sorry), good luck finding a motherboard that will work with the case and power supply.
