You cant overclock a hp/dell etc (no prebuilt comp). The bios is blocking so no overclock. But if its are a good comp i dunno.

Specs.... You could have a celeron going at 3.5 ghz that could easily be beaten by a core 2 duo at 1.8 ghz. I bought prebuilt computers, because I got them for really cheap
 If you do buy one, change the motherboard and you're set for overclocking.

ditto. if you want to overclock you need to get a new mobo and if you don't have the origional copy of xp than you need to buy a new one. unless you get it for really cheap, lets say under 200 dollers than it's really better to by new stuff or gently used stuff and build a new one. but really hp is the lesser of the 3 evils . as long as it's not dell than theres hope
