your not gonna be oveclockin that.
it might be possible to use a program like softFSB but it probably wouldnt be worthwhile.
it looks like its upgrade time

If you do upgrade, you could probably keep almost everything except your motherboard. Even if the case might still be useful.

But overclocking is pretty much out of the question with a brand name PC.

SDRAM?! I hope that means DDR SDRAM. If its plain PC133 SDRAM that is really getting you up the ass in performance

I thought that o/c a brand name pc is hard I guess its upgraqde time -

Cheers 4 the advice evry1 !

Ps its DDR SDRAM ( Ma pc isnt that bad, hehe)
