No, your HP computer can't be overclocked.

Your best bet for faster speed is to add more RAM.  Go to crucial.com and do their memory scan.

512Mg of RAM is'nt considered "plenty"....
What process is pushing it to 80% ? ?

What do you expect from a 10 year old computer with a 1st generation Pentium 4 which uses PC133 SDRAM?  Max RAM is 1.5 GB (3x512).  Standard is 512 MB (2x256).  1-512MB RAM module is over $50, therefore, not worth upgrading.
