I know it has an FSB speed of 133 MHz and a Bus speed of 532 MHz so I shouldn't be complaining, but I can't stand being so curious about it. I'm going to be updating my entire cooling system soon with a new case, some high performance fans, a fan controller and a new motherboard that can tolerate more heat so I just wanted to know if it was possible.

Hi,
Basically you cannot overclock any Dell.
It may be possible to flash your BIOS to an Intel BIOS which could be overclocked, but and here is the big but.
Your computer will be then be totally unsupported by Dell and you cannot flash back to a Dell BIOS
Your best upgrade with just 256MB of memory, is another 256mb of memory at an absolute minimum.
