you don't. at least not yet. because if you need to come here to find out how to Overclock, then you really shouldn't be doing it. do a lot of research on the internet about it. google is your best friend, obviously. only when you know your setup inside out, is when you should even consider overclocking.

overclocking when you "don't know what you're doing" is like skydiving without knowing what it is.

look up guides first.

basicly:

your CPU has a multiplier
your motherboard has a FSB(or front side bus) speed
the two multiplied together = your CPU speed
usually the CPU is locked, so you can't change the multiplier (most of the time)
what you change is the motherboard's FSB
everything effects how well you can overclock it from RAM speeds to cooling enviornments.

don't do it, till you can say you know what you're doing.

Just use BIOS, find a guide and use it. I have my San Diego 4000+ to 3.05.
