This is certainly something NOT to be asked in yahoo answers. Check links.
Edit: Oh, the little boys ahead of me jumped in and are doing research now!

Depends on your setup!
1. Does your system Bios allow changing clock values & clock multipliers?
If no and the bios is Locked, then you need to do it via the FSB (front side bus) on your motherboard. CPUFSB does this and that's how I'm Overclocking my CPU with a locked bios. P-4 2.4 OC to 2.66Ghz.
Word of Caution...Make sure that your CPU doesn't overheat or you can permanently damage it...Use Motherboard Monitor to view the motherboard & CPU temps all the time.
You will need to add more fans to the case to exhaust the hot air the CPU will produce overclocked as well...You may also need to install a better heatsink and fan on your CPU!!!
If this is to complicated for you to understand I suggest doing a lot of research on the subject of overclocking so you don't screw anything up and "Know" what you are doing....
Oh...and one more point that is made below. Overclocking will always Void your CPU's Warranty!!! Myself I don't care because I'm using a $50 CPU that's already 5 years old (Warranty Expired) and I want it going faster than stock!!!
Too funny!!! "Muffin...below is close, but no cigar. Hey do what you want. Just read these forums first if you want to be successful."
I suppose you "know" my setup and exactly how I'm overclocking my P-4B 2.4Ghz processor heh!!! Glad there's someone out there that knows everything!!!! LOL

go to http://www.tomshardware.com. Also go to your CPU/Motherboard manufacturers website for help. There are inherent dangers with overclocking and if you have to ask this questiion on this site I don't recommend you do it yourself. There is one more solution, take your PC to a local computer shop and pay professionals to do it for you.

You can change the settings in your BIOS to speed up your processor
