Is that a socket 478 CPU? I wouldn't overclock it, personally. If you do, make sure you have a REALLY good heatsink / fan on the CPU because its gonna get hot!!

You must go to BIOS into "advanced settings" section. Change the clock (FSB) of the CPU from automatic into manual. P4P800 using 1Mhz step on overclocking. Assuming your processor Front Side Bus is 200Mhz, then raise its value little by little, save the BIOS, restart your PC, benchmark it and see if other peripherals aren't suffering (too hot, unstable).
Be very careful to do this, any other peripherals could take a bad effects on overclocking. You must be sure that your memory are supporting higher frequency.
Prepared to loose/corrupted data, artifacts on the monitor if your way to overclocked are too high and importantly you can burn your CPU.
Do it on your own risk.

YES, either thru software (Clockgen) or by adjusting fsb in BIOS. But better read first some basics on overclocking so that you would understand the significance and effect of every adjustment you will make. This might help:

If your graphics card is 9600 Pro, it also has some overclocking headroom using ATI Tool.

Open your BIOS by pressing F2 or "del" for setup. Change it from there
