it is very unlikely that you will be able to overclock, because you have a "branded" computer that doesn't allow you to overclock their products...i have yet heard of anyone overclock a compaq,hp,gateway or a dell....

It's a Pegasus motherboard. You could PROBABLY crank up the FSB using CPUFSB or CPUCooL. My suggestion is to get an FCPGA to FCPGA2 adaptor and a Celeron 1.4GHz (not P3-1.4 - they cost $200, whereas a Celery costs under $50), THEN do your OCing (the Celery 1.4 hits 1.6 pretty easily, I've heard).
