To overclock your processor you can up the Multiplier, Frequency, and Vcore voltage.

But also make sure you have effecient cooling, because the CPU will be producing alot more heat than usual.

If you could give us some of an idea of the specs of your computer, it would help also.

do you have a p4 or amd cpu because if p4 than possibility the cpu is locked at that speed. if p4 is it a prescott or northwood dye cpu as prescotts run somewhat hot

The quickest easiest way would be to change your FSB speed (I think). This http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php seems to do the same thing as CPUCool, only it's free.

Most modern CPUs will have a fixed multiplier to prevent upping the speed too far beyond the rated figure, otherwise your trying to get something for nothing, or for less...

The overclocking potential of a processor will vary from unit to unit and can't really be accurately predicted, but small increases in front side bus speed (set in the BIOS) should give your processor extra go...

A few notes of caution though:

With small increases in Processor speed come big increases in heat disspiation, and therefore you will want to use a program such as Hmonitor to keep an eye on your system temperature after you have done this. It may be worth considering getting an uprated heatsink for your processor if you really want to go for speed.

Also, bear in mind that increasing the front side bus speed may cause problems with your RAM, since to ensure stable operation and full utilisation of your speed increase, must be running at the same speed as your front side bus. If you have basic PC2100 DDR memory then you could possibly have problems...
