If you want to void the warranty, then you could give it a try! But i don't think you can overclock a Dell actually! overclocking could be done with a customized built PC!

Dell PC's usually doesn't allow FSB/multiplier/voltage changes in the BIOS settings.
Basically, they don't want you to overclock/upgrade, because they want you to have to buy another computer from them if you want something faster.
