Sorry, could you give more information,
i know it's hp... hp ses it's the F1 key to get in the BIOS, but some hp systems have their BIOS locked.
So, yours is?

Anyway, i've looked for some overclocking software:

Show the poor old girl some mercy, and leave it at the stock speed. A Pent 4 really can't be made to perform as well as even many of the new lower price dual core Intels. (E2220) or (E5200). All you'll do is shorten it's life span, and make it run hot. A graphics card upgrade might help if it's gaming you're looking to do.
An overclock on your P-4 would more than likely require an upgrade of the HSF, and a capable one might not even fit in your HP case.

I think a big part of you not getting many responses is that it is a 'branded computer'. The OEM boards in those are so restrictive in what you can do, basically people don't OC them. Since it isn't a 'real' board from the well known manufacturers there probably aren't going to be many people here that overclock that actually know anything about the board in your system.

My guess is you simply can't do it in the bios, and would have to rely on a software overclock, and I'm not sure how good that is or even if its possible.
