Ok, so I thought I was blessed when I bought my HP Pavillion TV PV (A.K.A a6330la), after about 4 months, I decide to go to the next step, when I went to the U.S to visit my uncles on Summer Vacations, I brought for my Computer a GTX 285, I thought the world was mine... brought an Ultra LSP 750 watts power supply and 2, 1GB Ultra DDR2 memory stick @ 800 MHz (makes a mixed of 2 Samsung 1GB @ 667 and those 2 mentioned), after 2 months when I got home, i installed the components, BOOM! I got my super gaming PC, but i noticed something was wrong, the PC was slow and i thought a Core 2 Duo @2.20 GHz was good, I was wrong... when i found out about the Core 2 Quads and Core i7 i wanted to cut my veins... but i Coulnt even get a Core 2 Quad and a i7 was a dream... so i search and i found out i could make my CPU faster than it was made for, I found out it could be OC'ed easily to 3 GHz with no voltage changes, went to the BIOS and I dint found out what the page said this one) so I searched more and found out my BIOS was Company locked, couldnt do a ****, I found out my Motherboard is a curse, Benicia-GL8E with locked bios and doesnt appears in A LOT of OC'ing programs, so I decided to ask the Pro's, how can I overclock my processor without changing voltage and by using a program? i would worship you if you helped me... Thx in advance

You don't have to replace the CPU to replace the motherboard. You'd be much more likely to achieve a admirable overclocking with a board that will allow you to adjust settings from the BIOS. Even the most basic options are better than software ocing.
However if your heart is set, I'd say setFSB is your best bet. You'll need to find out the motherboard's PLL name/number/ID first. The majority are ICS followed by a series of numbers & letters. You'll need to locate that chip on your motherboard and then it will be the bottom of the 3 lines that you'll need to identify your PLL. You then set to the correct PLL in seFSB, detect and start clocking.

Tbh dude if you mobo doesnt support overclocking its gernerally for a reason, either buy a new mobo so you can overclock properly or just stick where you are. SET FSB is not designed to be a 24/7 program and its not really stable for massive clocks either.
Overclocking creates alot of heat which needs addressing aswell.
