bbZipper,

I doubt that you will be able to overclock a Dell computer.

I don't have a single Dell in my office (from Dimension 4100's to the 8200 Series to the XPS) that I can OC. Dell proprietarizes their motherboards, and they pretty much lock out all options in the bios for that. As a matter of fact, the bios options on the Dells are abysmal at best.

Another anandtech'er, MisterE, modified a bios for us using a program called modbin.exe, I think. We bought some BME barebone kits that had a crippled bios per the OEM compter seller. He was able to turn "on" all of bios options with the software. Don't know if he is still around, but do a search for modbin and try to open a copy of Dell bios in it and see what you can do.
