My BIOS doesn't support overclocking, so I've been thinking of other mEANS. Someone told me that I can use a program called ClockGen as long as I know my motherboard's PLL, or my chipset's PLL, I forget which one (CPU). Someone told me to look in a specific spot on my motherboard, and I got some serial numbers, but nothing that corresponds to anything that ClockGen has. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Any help is appreciated.. The CPU runs at 47 C, so I don't think overclocking it would hurt it that much. Thanks.

As seen in the other forum thread you started, your PLL is not supported. But don't waste money on another PD, get a cheap C2D and a cheap mobo (want an Asrock 775 Dual? Paired with an E4500 you can hit 3.0Ghz!). You'll like that way more than what you got now.
