Overclocking a pre-built system is like buying a mini-van and suping it up.
Learn how to build your own before you worry about that. Typically, it's just as easy to buy the next fastest CPU than it is to overclock, especially if it's a low-end CPU. The newer Conroe from Intel is one exception. You can get a low-end version (which is still pretty damn fast) and overclock it as much as 10-15% with the right settings. It makes sense here because the fastest Conroes are $1000.

your HP? Your printer?
Not sure what the HP acronym is...
but if your Bios is locked, you cannot change the settings relating to voltage, or processor/memory speed, so you won't be able to OC

you needto unlock the bios... maybe pull the battery, while the cord for AC power is unplugged.
If it is a Compaq, some have a jumper that locks it!
