Hi, welcome to the forums

The basics: CPU speed = FSB x multiplier. You overclock by increasing either the multiplier or FSB.

If you got that PC in December 2003 there is a good chance that the CPU is Superlocked, meaning that you cannot adjust the multipliers. All CPUs produced around about week 42 or later of 2003 are superlocked.

Have a look in your BIOS setup screen (when you hit F2/F1/Del/esc whatever at boot up time). Are there any options like:

- CPU frequency adjustment
- Bus frequency adjustment
- CPU ratio adjustment
- CPU multiplier adjustment.
