Depends on your mobo

If your mobo has overclocking options, then yes it can overclock.

Pentium 4's are known to overclock to really high clock speeds. However, they're quite slow clock for clock.

Phoenix BIOSes often have overclocking options disabled [as far as I know, most OEM computer manufacturers [particularly HP as in your case]] have disabled overclocking options.
You could try looking for a ModBIOS but it's risky.
My old P4 is equipped with an AMI BIOS... I might try overclocking it soon...

As said before, if it's an manufactured PC then you probably don't have any overclocking options.

This.

I have the same class CPU (mine just has higher stock clock), and I've gotten it to 4GHz @ 1.5v or so (see signature). Go for it!

EDIT: Try to find out the exact model of your motherboard. You might be able to download a BIOS from Asus (not HP) that might have overclocking abilities.
