Allrighteee... now we're getting somewhere..

#1 Problem: Major OEM System
- Major OEM systems (Dell, Compaq, Gateway, Hp, Emachines, etc.) will almost never be overclockable out of box. Custom manufacturing of motherboards essentially defeats this. On your HP, the only real way to look at overclocking would be with a Slocket (assuming this is a slot Pentium III system, not a socket. They won't pay 10 cents to add overclock to a system that 99% of the purchasers would never use, and most of those diddling with it would want support.

#2 Warranty:
Understand that by overclocking a major OEM system, you burn any warranty that you have with them pretty much. If you have a valid warranty , and their represnative sees it in an overclocked condition, they will void your warranty.
