    I doubt you are going to be able to overclock your processor. Dell usually does not release the information on the PLL's used for cpu frequency control.
    The only way to find out what PLL it uses, is to open the system up and look for the chip. Usually they are made by Cypress, ICS, or Realtek. The overclocking software naton mentioned will only work for a small array of pll's, so you may not be able to overclock at all.
    A side note, I8KFANGUI is a fan control software, and does not offere any overclocking features.
