You will not be able to overclock due to it being a Dell,an OEM,that has the BIOS locked. Without being able to enter the BIOS,overclocking is out of the question.
And also,you're better off buying a new system than trying to OC a Pentium. ;)

Stick to FS9 with your current sytem and you'll be okay. Don't expect to run FSX with it though.  :(
