okay, i have an hp M1070N with a P4 520 2.8 GHz Socket LGA775 and an Asus Puffer PTGD1-LA

the bios that you download from hp sucks, you can't overclock with it

so how would i go about overclocking?
 
In most cases you cant overclock a retail computer cause the manufacturer doesnt want you to, thats why there are no options for it in bios, they burn it out.
 
in most cases you don't.

even if it has the options to, i still wouldn't on a retail machine. the hardware is usually low-end, and overclocking it easily kills crappy hardware.

they lock out the bios to prevent people from calling and saying they fried something and did nothing at all.
 
depending on how shitty the hardware is, you can hardware overclock, by soldering, and crossing traces on the motherboard.......sometimres? :cool:
