What processor and graphics card do you have? There's loads of oerclocking sites with tutorials, just type 'overclocking tutorial' into google

Just remember that not all chips can be overclocked and you often need extra cooling devices to allow you to overclock to a level that creates any noticable difference.

For a couple of extra frames per second, it's not worth the risk in my opinion.

Well, you can get a good increase out of an AMD on stock cooling. You'd ahve to use the BIOS, and increase the FSB or the Voltage to the CPU. The basic principles are that the Voltage multiplied by the FSB results in the CPU speed. Oh but beware, as some companies (*cough*Intel*cough*) will mislead you to give a wrong FSB (like that BS about 800mhz FSB). So, for example, I have a an Athlon XP2400+ with an FSB of 333Mhz. This FSB is multiplied by the voltage (in this case 6V) to get to 2.0Ghz. So, you can increase the voltage by 1 and get 2.333Ghz, but then again you could always just increase the FSB to 400Mhz and get 2.4Ghz. Well, thats what I understand by overclocking anyways.

You do need a Mobo that supports overclocking though, but if you don't you may need to join a few nodes on the board.

well,i didnt understand how intel is misleading by 800mhz fsb ? please explain .

u mean 6.0v or 0.6v in a xp2400+?

anyways,pumping more voltage can actually decrease the life of cpu but fsb overclocking doesnt harm cpu much , so i'd always advice fsb o/c ing.

This is what I mean by not worth it. In real terms, going from 2.0 Ghz clock speed to 2.3 Ghz results in practically no discernable benefit. What I mean is, you'll only see the benefit in Sisoft Sandra or 3dMark's benchmark results, in reality you won't particularly notice that your PC is running any faster.

Overclocking used to be good in the old days, when taking a processor from 100 Mhz to 130 Mhz made, obviously, a big difference. Your PC would run 30% faster than before but nowdays, the performance increase percentages are so small that in my opinion it's simply a waste of time, particularly when you consider the inevitable drop in reliability and component lifespan.

A good hard drive and as much memory as you can get on your motherboard is the way to go in my opinion

But anyway, If you've got a Nvidia graphics card, do a google search for 'coolbits'. It's a registry hack that unlocks the Nvidia control panel overclocking tab.
