on oldies like that, the only way you can overlock it is reset the jumpers on the mobo. very rarely is there a place in the BIOS to change the speed

You won't be able to change the FSB in the BIOS, thats for sure. Try and change a jumper for the multiplier (assuming this is a Pentium 120) If you want to try and get the FSB up a bit you could download CPUCool or SoftFSB.

I would think the easiest way to overclock it would be to up the bus speed to 66mhz from 50mhz where it is now. It'll run at 133 Mhz and you'll notice a boost in performance by upping the bus speed.
