It mainly depends on whether your motherboard supports overclocking. If you have a proprietary motherboard (ie. one from Dell, Compaq, Gateway, HP, etc.) then the answer is most likely no. To be sure, you could go into BIOS and see if there are any overclocking options. To get into BIOS, you need to press a certain key during the boot sequence. That key is typically Delete or one of the F buttons (F1, F2, etc), but every motherboard is different. Check your manual, or just try hitting all of them.

Nah theres no overclocking options in the BIOS mate. Does this mean I can't overclock?

Well, you could try software-based overclocking utilities such as SysTool, but they may not work with your system.

What setting should I use because I don't want to blow up my system lol

Take it in baby steps. Raise your FSB by about 5mhz each time, then if it's stable, raise it another 5mhz. To test stability, you might want to use Prime95. You also will probably want to monitor your CPU temp while running Prime95. You can do this using a program like SpeedFan.
