O/C is simple mate. Here's a brief description.
There are many ways of doing it. Through Hardware FSB or software or change multiplier.
I had to change my FSB throgh software on my old system. There was no option to change on the mobo, no jumpers or anything. Plus the multiplyier was locked and BIOS was ****ed.
FSB stands for Front Side Bus. I think yours is at 200 MHz yeah?
This would mean you have a 4.25 multiplyier;
4.25x200= 850
You get the idea, so you find out your FSB and clock multiplier, then increase it. You said that you want to overclcok the CPU so you only need to change the clock multiplier. Overclocking the FSB is better because you change the frequency to all the devices on the mobo. PCI, memory etc... And of course the CPU!
On my old sytem I stuck the FSB to 73.2 MHz from 66 MHz, performce was better than I expected. Far better frame rates, even though it was only a small increasement. I didn't bother with extra cooling though. I have two fans working well anyway.
You should read more on this on many websites that have overclocking articles.
