Overclocking AMD Athlon X2 Dual 4200+ --Help

[anow2]

Hello,
I am trying to Overclock an AMD x2 Dual 4200+ 2.21 GHz.
I have an ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe Motherboard.

I have never Overclocked one of my systems before.

So basically, I need to know,

What you recommend the max to OC it to.
How to OC it. (What Utilities to use?)
What do I need to 'monitor' the system (CPU Temp., or anything else needed)

Thank You,

You can use the same basic steps for overclocking your AM2 based system as is used for overclocking a socket 939 or 754 system. Here is a great article (http://icrontic.com/articles/overclocking_on_754939_platform) written by our own lemonlime on overclocking those 2 platforms that will give you a great overview on overclocking your AM2 system. :)

Anow2, keep in mind that for more than modest CPU overclocking, you need good CPU cooling and a well ventilate computer case. Please tell us what heatsink is on your CPU and in what case your system is housed.
