Hey guy. I also have a HP system. Mine's only a P2 350. I wonder if that "Pangea-U" is a codename given to a board that was custom made for HP by a major manufacturer. The HP folks called my board a "Leopard". My reasearch uncovered that it is an Asus P2B-98 XV. OEMS get the boards customized. In my case they put their own BIOS chip which will not acceot a non-HP update, removed the AGP slot and added a crappy on-board video chip. If you browse the customer support forums and search the newsgroups, you may be able to pinpoint the specs for the board. You could also inspect the board for markings. I think between the PCI slots is a common location for markings. Oh, you could try SISOFT Sandra

From browsing HP's web site I believe you have the 9780c. This is a link to some info about the board including jumper settings. But not manufacturer name.
Users Forum is here for the 9700 series

This is a quote from one of the HP techs to someone asking about a mobo for a pavilion 9720 (T-bird 900)
"The motherboard in your system is an OEM version of the ASUS mother with the Apollo KT133 chipset. The motherboard does support the AGP 4X standard. For me to tell you the exact place in the BIOS to change the settings I would have to know what version of the BIOS you have on your system."
Hope my rambling on helps some. You know of course you will void your warranty (most likely) if you OC it. You probably will want to get a new BIOS EPROM (from manufacturer) chip if you are gonna go for it.
You might want to try a software solution to avoid warranty issues. SOFTFSB can overclock without opening the case.
