If your motherboard is proprietary, forget overclocking. There are hardly any tweaking options. For retail motherboards, those with Nvidia chipsets are better overclockers. Consider a better processor cooler. XP 2600+ tend to heat up when overclocked. XP 2600+ is pretty sturdy. With good cooling, it won't fry even at higher than default voltage.
