You can't expect an answer without having to provide the CPU model, the motherboard, memory, etc. If it's a laptop or a pre-built from Dell, HP, etc., then you most likely won't be able to overclock.

I recall overclocking a Turion x2 (laptop CPU) quite a few years back. I was able to get a couple hundred more MHz, but at this point that hardware is so obsolete it would hardly help performance on modern applications.
