Hey,
i have an AMD Athlon 2400+
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9562/cpuqw5.jpg

when i enter the option of the CPU SPEED in the BIOS, i see 2 options,
1- 2000mhz
2- 2666mhz

and in the default it's in 2000mhz..

if i put 2666mh will this damage the CPU?

thx

I suspect it will if you are running stock cooling. Too much heat. I could be wrong tho, not familer with that CPU tho.

Is that the only option you get in the BIOS?

You need to adjust the motherboard settings as seen in the following link:

I suggest you also read the guide on how to overclock an AMD cpu at the top of the overclocking forum.
