Sammy welcome, I'll start off by saying I know liitle about overclocking the older intel cpu's so hopefully someone that is more familiar will step in. With overclocking, you are probably going to want to install a quality aftermarket cpu heatsink. A few more details about your system would be great, your PSU make and model and your case. Heat is a major factor with overclocking, in general the more air flow in the case and quality Cpu heatsink will help you overclock. You should start off with downloading Hwmonitor and prime95 and run prime for 20minutes with Hwmonitor open so you can have a baseline of what your temperatures are. Here's a guide on how to overclock that chip you have.

You're pretty much stuck with Clockgen/SetFSB with that board.

Though you should be able to get a moderate overclock out of it if you can get it to work.
