Please educate yourself about how to overclock, there are numerous articles and guides that will get you started. Once you run into trouble then the ppl here can give you a hand but READ and don't be LAZY!!!

Read the "how to" below then try some of it out, if you run into specific problems then come back and ask a specific question...

Don't expect the ppl here to write up an entire lesson for you when all you had to do was google "overclock computer"

It's not that. I am not being lazy!!!

I first didn't know that my mobo could be overclocked and then thought that it might be different for my motherboard because it is almost 4 - 5 years old.

Quite frankly most of the ppl here have learned by either reading or trying. You can follow the steps and see how far you get, ANY motherboard should allow you to overclock at least a little bit, just a matter of how far you can do it.

I understand the need for ppl to ask for advise but in most cases it's probably better to learn for yourself.

I don't suppose it ever occured to you to google "abit sg-72 overclock", you should find an article where a guy overclocked his cpu from 2.8 to 3.2 with that board so yes you can OC it.
