i dont know of a way to oc a processor without going into bios. if there isnt a manual setting for processor speed in your bios, then most likely your motherboard or proc wont allow it. you can try to oc your video card though. overclocing doesnt cause any damage if done properly. just be sure to keep the temperature of the components cool. theres a bunch of oc'ing guides floating around

What do you mean without BIOS?
Your BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) controls pre-OS processing and continues to maintain many of the units and controls that control primary processing while your computer is running. That means that while your Central Processing Unit is processing, your BIOS is controling that CPU and the speed at which it is allowing information to pass.
You can't overclock without telling your BIOS to do so through CMOS. It just doens't work.
As said, however, Overclocking can cause problems on multiple fronts -- namely heat dissipation. This and controlling charge to your CPU -- both of which can cause perminant and fatal damage to your Celeron -- if not also your Motherboard.
Furthermore, I've never been a fan of the Celeron series processors. For some reason they just don't process as fast as Pentiums/Athalons even at the same speeds. With 2.4 ghz, though, this shouldn't be your defining factor her.
When your RAM is equal to your Video Card's memory, you got a problem! Upgrading your ram would be my first suggestion -- past that I'd wait and get a Vista/DX10 compliant Dual Core CPU and Dual Core VPU and you'll have a great foundation. Where you're at now with that CPU your kinda stuck -- overclocking a Celeron is not recommended.

you're kidding appropriate? Why in the international might you get a Celeron? Its a decrease priced budget CPU that's sturdy for not something. Coupling it up with a card like an 8800 could be an entire waste of the enjoying cards skills. once you're purchasing a clean rig and want to play video games, do your self a favour and get a first rate CPU... middle 2 Duo, on the least. If, for some inexplicable reason, you incredibly somewhat need an previous CPU, a minimum of make it a Pentium 4.

I wouldn't recommend overclocking anything. Overclocking can do some serious damange to your computer.

You can not TWEAK Intel CPU's.
