Pentium 4 is a fairly simple processor to over-clock.

How far you can go depends on which version -- of which version -- you are using.

Is it a Northwood "C" processor?

Is it a Prescott "E" processor?

Is it socket-478, or LGA775? Or again "Which processor is it?"

What motherboard are you using?

Hi BD
Thanks for coming back to me on this!
Where do I find all the info you want? I did say I was noob hehehehe!
I used CPU-Z and got this snapshot:chipset up

It is Prescott and Socket LGA 775

What motherboard?

I'm assuming that the mobo uses an Intel chipset.

Even if the mobo was manufactured by Intel, since it uses an LGA775 socket, I'm fairly certain that it would have "over-clocking" features.

I can see so far that the processor comes from the batch of Prescotts made to run with a 533 Mhz FSB.
