Honestly man, what's the point? Especially if this is your primary PC, you'd be better off just upgrading it.
The other day, I saw a ton of AMD Athlon XP ranging from 2200+ all the way up to 3000+ for less than $5 selling on eBay. Check your motherboard's manual to see how high you can upgrade to and get your hands on a newer processor. Also upgrading your memory to a minimum of 512MB should help too.
Note: If you've got an older version of Windows such as 95/98/ME, don't go over 512MB.

That really depends on the mother board bios settings you have available.
AMD processors are better for overclocking than Pentium in my opinion.
Look for an option in your bios like cpu frequency or something similar.
