Hey I have a intel celron running at 900mhz/100mhz. I have no idea how to overclock it soo could anybody help me?

In your bios there should be an option to up the front side bus/CPU frequency to 112Mhz, set it like that, if the system posts and runs stable then go for the next amount up. If your computer fails to restart after changing settings consult your mobo manual on how to clear CMOS
ideally we need ram and mobo specs here

Hehe, Vash the Stampede. Someones a fan of Trigun :)
I'd have to say there's two different breeds of overclocking, and those of course are:
FSB Tweaking
Hardcore Modification (AFAIK, this only applies to AMD Chips)
FSB tweaking is all a matter of dropping better cooling onto your Processor and Northbridge and doing what Jakk said, Heat and Voltage can also come into play, but I wouldn't screw with those unless you're willing to see the results if you get a little zealous about it. In which case the magic smoke will escape from your mainboard and it'll stop working :D
Now, about the dynamics, what IS overclocking?
look at it this way, your processor runs ona Frontside bus (that is, the Electronic pathway with which all the components share information on) and it runs at a certain speed represented by MHz.
That was just a 'duh' statement, I know, but helpful sometimes
When you speed up the FSB, you speed up everything attached to it, much like speeding up an assembly line: everyone has to work faster and theres a greater margin of error, but its all a matter of finding the 'optimal operating range' with as few errors as possible.
Since Multipliers are locked on Intels processors, I won't go much into it, but the Processor is a Direct slave attached to the FSB. when the FSB goes faster, the Processor has to actively multiply that speed in the core to do operations.
EG a 100 MHz FSB and a Multiplier of 10.0x would = 1,000 MHz
or a 112 MHZ FSB and a Multiplier of 10.0x would = 1,120 MHz
Just bare in mind that you have to keep the processor and Northbridge cooled, the potential for heat raises Exponentially with each 'boost' to the FSB, so say 100 is 100% Heat, 112 might be 110% Heat, 133 might be well over 190% Heat, hence why cooling is so important.
Well, hope that lot of blitherblather helped, happy Clocking!
