Sorry, Dell PCs don't offer any BIOS options for overclocking. Some video cards will allow you to do that, at your own risk, of course.

You can't do either. DELL PC specifications are fixed by the factory.

Hi BMWBOB
I'm not looking to overclock cause I know Dell Bios as well as Sony, HP, & Gateway are all Locked. What I was asking is there any one out there who has purchased a Processor with an FSB of 1066 and which Processor is it, because according to dell specs. the 8400 should be able to run at that speed which should help with some gamming bottle necking and has any one tried any third party PSU's other than PCpower & Cooling they sell Dell adapters which they say can be used with any PSU that's what I was asking it has nothing to do with overclocking, about the only thing you can overclock on a Dell is your third party VGA card. Dogsbottom seems to have messed up my post everyone seems to be responding to overclocking and not my post
