I'm not a fan of any OEM system, but the 506GR has respectable specs, except for the video. Why do you wanna overclock?

If there is no FSB adjustments available in the BIOS, you could try overclocking software such as CPUFSB, SoftFSB, or ClockGen, but there's no guarantee it will work.

If gaming is your goal, you need to get a decent PCI-E video card, not overclock the system.
