go into the bios (press delete before windows boots up) and increase frequency. make sure you have ample cooling for it.
what type of P4? i hear northwoods are a lot cooler than prescotts.

it'll familiarize you with terms such as FSB and such.
btw FSB stands for front side bus.

If it's not in the BIOS, it may be possible to OC in Windows.

Do you have a pre-made computer from someone like HP or Dell?
