I have a Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3GHz on my Dell XPS 420 and i wanted to overclock it to 3.5 or 4. I tried to use the BIOS, but the Dell BIOS won't allow overclocking.
Does anyone know how i can bypass Dell's lock on overclocking in the BIOS? - maybe through a 3rd party program?

DUDE YOU BOUGHT A DELL! 
Sorry, but there really isn't much you can do. There are programs that let you OC from Windows but they are very unstable so I will not recommend them.
My recommendations:
Get new motherboard (and may be a new case and OS)
