If it's not available in BIOS then probably no.
However, some motherboards (especially the older ones) have jumpers and switches in the Motherboard itself for overclocking.
Check the manual. If not, you're out of luck. Perhaps there is a BIOS upgrade.

convinced its available, yet do study up on overclocking earlier doing some thing to the bios. For rams you would prefer to seem as a lot as see if the chips on it are overclockable and whats the decision you are able to push it (in words of clock speed and ram timings). i ought to heavily recommend you go away your gpu it extremely is gf 5500fx alongside for the recommend time.

Erg... with the specs you have, it would be better just to upgrade, not overclock. I say this because your specs are NOT made for overclocking. Overclocking has to be done by someone who really knows what he/she's doing. If something is not done right, your computer could have a meltdown... literally!

If your talking about the time clock, then just double click the clock in the bottom right. and you can change it there.
First though, you should go to: http://update.microsoft.com/ if your BIOS menu doesn't have that. It must be an older BIOS and needs updated. Also, try searching Drivers in http://www.dell.com/support/ .
Good Luck.

Yes, it's always possible to overclock a pc. You just have to not do it too much and have a good enough cooling system.

There are a few programs available to do this. All of them require you to know the specific make of a chip on your motherboard. Most likely, it will not be worth it.
Speedfan is one program that will do it and they have a pretty good database of boards.

Your motherboard may have configuration jumpers instead of BIOS configuration. Check the motherboard manual

Hi Cheech,
Yes, you can overclock it. You actually are running a very good candidate for it.
