it's a bit old, but there's an article at Tom's Hardware that I read ages ago that describes how you overclock a cpu.

It all depends on the motherboard & bios you have. In the old days you would have to set various jumpers on the motherboard to increase the speed of the cpu but alot of motherboards allow you to do the same thing via the bios. If you've got the manual that came with the motherboard it should give you an idea of what you can and cannot do with the motherboard.

On a cautionary heads up it's all at your own risk, i would never overclock.

Yeah, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Increase it too much and it'll be unstable, so it's very much a case of trial and error.

Turn the FSB up by 10MHz, that's all you need to do.
