I have an ancient system that I am having some fun fooling around with.
It has a pentium 4 2.8ghz 800mhz fsp with HT, 1gb ram, fx 5700 ultra, and a 30 gb IDE hard drive that I pulled out of a system from 1999.
The pc is running windows xp.
This is the motherboard

I've got many questions so I hope you'll bear with me.
What does it mean when the motherboard specifications say 800mhz fsb overclock?

I want to overclock the cpu, but I'm not sure if the motherboard supports it so is there any software that could do it in windows?

I want to overclock the gpu, but the software I found did not work on a gpu that old, would you happen to know of any that would work for that gpu?

The overall speed of the system is extremely slow browsing the web, I know it's a pentium 4, but it seems slow compared to even slower pentium 4s I've used, is this because of the amount of ram, the hard drive, or is something wrong?

I hope some of you guys will be able to help me out with this.
 
It's socket 478 so it's 32 bit CPU, It has DDR memory not DDR2 so the memory is slow also. 800 fsb overclock means the BIOS should allow a 667 fsb CPU to run 800 fsb for an overclock. The fastest pentium 4 3.8GHz LGA775 will run about the same as the slowest 1.8Ghz Core2Duo. The 2GB RAM limit will force the OS to go to the IDE hard drive often.
You might try one of the lighter versions of Linux and see how it works.
