This is a dead computer waiting to happen. With 128 meg. RAM, shouldn't that be addresses first? What processor is in there?

You Cpu multiplier is probably locked when designed.

You could toy with the fsb.May not get anywhere
there either.

I am assuming you have a slot-1 CPU ,and I don't recommend
 BIOS upgrades.

So, leave it as is.

aldsam ..... It's entirely possible that the mobo you have may not support overclocking . I would find the manual for the board and it should tell you if it can be overclocked , as well as an explanation of the dip switch settings.
If it turns out it can be overclocked , proceed with caution or you will have a doorstop.

I just looked it up and I don't believe you can overclock that board ...as has already been suggested.

You don't have enough memory to properly run XP.
XP will function somewhat on 256MB but will be much happier if you can give it 512MB.
Use the memory configurator at Crucial, Kingston, etc. to determine what type and how much memory your machine will accept.

And add some RAM...travel to Crucial .com to see exactly what fits for that machine.
