Intrested in OverClocking my procesor. Need some input!

First of all, here are my system specs. The video card there will be replaced with a GeForce 6800 256MB after christmas, but until now this peice of poo will have to do.

Motherboard - ASUS A7V8X-X
Procesor - AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2.00 GHz
RAM - Crucial 1.00GB DDR3200(2x 512)
Video Card - GeForce 5200 Fx (Soon to be replaced...)
400w PSU (I know this is the most important, probably, so I'll tripple check this...)

I think that's all the important information. If someone could give me a jump start with some liks and telling me my limits with my system, that would be great. Thanks.

Limits? That you'll have to find out for yourself. Just keep bumping the fsb a few MHz at a time until it becomes unstable. If you want to go further, up the vcore and bump it up a few more until it becomes unstable, then up the vcore again, and repeat the processess. Carefull though, if you're going to be overvolting, keep a very close eye on the temps. Overclocking alone doesnt effect the temp much, but when you overclock and overvolt, you'll see it climb.

you can overclock it but realize that that board doesn't have pcilock (don't put your FSB to high) so overclock with moderation
