You could try using EasyTune 5, I'm not sure if it will work alright for your AMD though. It won't do any damage, so it's worth giving it a try.
Aside from that you might need to update your BIOS, which is a tricky task whichever way you do it.

I don't know how that motherboard is made, and if it is not made for overclocking than I don't think it is worth going to the trouble of overlcocking it.
You might see some improvements, but most of the time they will cause instability problems, which is my opinion not worth the OC.

If you still want to you can check out these sites.

I am running an Athlon XP 2000+ on my current machine (until tax returns... then E8400), and my brother is running an Athlon XP 2400+ in his computer. I have tried overclocking both of them, and they are both horrible. I was able to get my FSB up to 150 with a slight voltage boost, but it was hot (45 C at rest, 70 C with Orthos), and not 100% stable. 100% stable was at something like FSB 140. My brothers was about the same.

The best bet is to see what the fastest CPU your motherboard can support, and search eBay. You can find Athlon XP 3000+ for around $30.

A friend of mine is giving me his 3200+ for free because he is getting a new PC, I guess I will have to keep this computer for my wife.
