Overclocking using CPUFSB program
I need to know my motherboard manufacturer and the type to overclock my CPU. I have a Dell dimension 4400 Intel Pentium 4 2.00ghz running at 1993 mhz. How do i find out the exact manufactuer and type? Can I overclock it a little? I have 512mb of ram can I add a 256mb card i already have or does it have to be another 512mb card?

Dell's in the era of the 4400 cannot be overclocked. The motherboard is a Dell custom model, not equivalent to any retail board.
If you only have one memory module, normally two memory modules should be installed for more efficient operation. Dell's have a history of compatibility problems with some brands/types of memory, the 256 Mb card MAY work, only thing I can tell you is if it is the proper type of memory you can try it.
HERE is the Crucial memory listing for the 4400, Crucial is what most techies on here recommend as it is guaranteed to work with Dell's.
