Software hacks to overclock Intel mobo?

I'm stuck using a Dell 2.0GHz Optiplex GX240 P4 box at work, and I'd like to get every possible drop of speed out of this thing...

The Intel motherboards Dell uses have (obviously) zero overclockability functions in the BIOS.

Are there any software hacks (Windows XP Pro compatible) that might allow me to increase the FSB or memory timings perhaps?? I'm already running lots of CL2 RAM, a fast HD, and I've tweaked the video card's clock as best as possible (dual-monitor Radeon 7500 64MB). It's not a game machine, but I use it for a fair amount of high-resolution medical imaging, Photoshop, plus very large Acrobat PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

Thanks...!

Unless you can find a program with software support for your PLL, you're pretty much SOL. Try SoftFSB or CPUCool...but I doubt they will offer support for a proprietary system such as a Dell. They are pretty much in their own little world, bro...but good luck!

Yeah, I sort of figured that would be the case. I'll give those a try and see what happens.
At least I get my overclock kicks at home... :)
