Good tutorial, lacrosse.
Just an addendum for nForce Motherboard owners:
Most overclocking can be done through the Bios and to get a feel of how far you can push the system use nVidia's nTune.
Also, keep in mind temperature increase due to overclocking so if you don't have the fans and heatsinks to support it...don't do it!
I recommend the Zalmon 9500/9700 for a CPU Heatsink and fan because it can take a serious overclock and it keep it pretty cool. Although, it still nowhere near a CPU Cooler (i.e. the Refrigeration Unit) it can allow you to get some more speed out of that CPU without causing a temperature increase.
My personal CPU is just slightly overclocked from its stock 2.6ghz to 2.8ghz.
CPU is AMD Athlon X2 5200+
