Can't overclock if you bought your computer from any manufacturer like Compaq, HP, Dell, whatever. The only way around that is a new motherboard, and i think that would require a new case too.

And probably a new power supply ... unless, if you're lucky and daring you can maybe flash the bios, if it's not a proprietary board. Am I right or wrong on that? It was just an idea, so I have no idea if it has any merit...

What TheGr81 said: You cannot overclock an OEM computer. Sorry.

You have to build your own out of parts to be able to overclock it. Getting a new motherboard for your dell means getting a new power supply, and a new case, which basically makes it "not a dell" anymore. And if you're going to do all that, you've already built a new computer.
