Help Overclocking

[Monkey]

Can I overclock my Sempron 3000+?
I saw a person on newegg OCed his to 2.4 ghz and I am wandering how I can achieve this. Please help super cool knowledgable techies...

depends... did u build the system urself?

or did u buy it from a dealer... like dell or something... cuz they lock bios from overclocking...

Access your computers bios and see if there are options to change your CPU's fsb and voltage. If you bought from a computer building company, your overclocking options might be disabled.

I built the system my self.

Well then you should be able to overclock it unless you have a horrible motherboard. Find out what you have to press to access your bios. On my P35 I have to press Delete. In the bios I go into M.I.T. where I can change my RAM rimings, cpu and ram voltage, and fsb.
