Overclocking processor and RAM upgrades!

Question

Hello, first of all thanks for amazing desktop vostro 230 its been 3 years i have bought it. Not a single problem with it. Its good for last year but now a days i am not satisfied with its speed and reliability. Due to lack of funding i cant just build or buy a new desktop so i was wondering if i can overclock the processor to make my pc faster.So here goes my questions: 1. Can i overclock the precessor of VOSTRO 230 pc (Intel core 2 duo E7500 2.93Ghz )?? If yes how??? 2. I want to upgrade my RAM. I know that maximum support for vostro 230 is 4gb. But i cant understand that it supports 4gb in single slot or 2gb in dual slot?? What is the maximum frequency that motherboard supports?? Please help me with this issue. i will be looking forward to your reply.. reply ASAP.. Thank You

Sorry to say, the Vostro 230 cannot be overclocked.

The Maximum RAM supported, is 4GB [2 x 2gb modules].
