cpufsb is a program that allows you to, by software, change the clock speed of your pc to overclock it...
http://www.cpufsb.de/
be aware that you are going to have to play with the settings to find what works for you, some settings will make your system unstable...
the good thing with using this software over changing the FSB in the bios (if it is even an option, some bios do not allow you to change this setting) is you can turn it on/off when needed.... as overclocking will reduce the life of your system

You cant change a P2 into a P3. Just go into your bios and bump your memory speed up a little at a time. If your memory speed is greyed out you cant overclock. Make sure you know where the F5 jumper is on your board and how to use it if your clocks fails and you have to reset your board.

Go to the Shuttle website and read the specs for your motherboard. They will tell you what CPU it supports and allowable speed ratings.
It will also tell you if the CPU can be over-clocked, and how.

The Intel chipset, does not allow overclocking.
