im currently using C2D E4300, Asus P5PE-VM mobo, 7600GS AGP, 1GB Kingston DDR400.
So how do i overclock my system? is it safe to tweak from 1.8GHZ to 2.2GHZ? this is my first time encountering overclocking.

Yes, going from 1.9 to 2.2 is safe, even to 2.8 and above 3Ghz. The temperature of your CPU should not exceed 60C under load.
 
hop into the bios and bump the front side bus.

In your case the fsb is going to be 200(800 quad pumped)
I say you are safe at 266(that will give you 2.4ghz :) ) with no voltage increase. Give it a try and see how it goes

Also make sure you run orthos stress prime for at least 4(24 is ideal) hours to make sure its stable.

Best of luck.
