Overclocking a Gateway!

[imported_patton]

Hey guys,
I just got a gateway pc with an AMD x2 3800+ and my bios does not allow me to change the FBS. It also appears that standard motherboards will not fit into a gateway pc, they seem to use non-standard motherboard organization.
Are there any ways to unlock the bios and are there any programs that allow overclocking? thanks guys.

Gateway locks down certain BIOS settings to cut down on calls to tech support. Sorry. Do not know of a way to change it.

As far as I know, Dell won't let you overclock either.
