no, most Dell machines are not possible to overclock

Probably, use your favorite search engine for details.

Wow. I stand corrected. Interesting...and it doesn't mention anything about the warranty.

For those that are interested, here is what it says:

Understanding CPU Over-Clocking

NOTICE: Dell does not recommend operating the CPU at a frequency that is greater than the manufacturer’s design specifications. Operating the CPU in this manner may cause your system to shut down unexpectedly, may result in a loss of data, and may reduce the operational life of the processor. If the system shuts down unexpectedly
or is unstable, select a lower CPU operating frequency.

Your Dell computer provides the limited capability to adjust the operating frequency, or clock speed, of the processor.

Altering the CPU operating frequency (commonly referred to as over-clocking) enables you to increases the speed of the processor to a frequency that is faster than the processor manufacturer’s design specifications, and possibly enhance the overall performance of your system.

Dell does not guarantee that your computer will function or remain stable during the use of any extended operating frequencies. If your computer shuts down unexpectedly or is unstable, select a lower operating frequency for the CPU.

You can make limited adjustments to the CPU operating frequency in system setup. For more information on accessing system setup, see System Setup on page 132.

how do you know it only works with the extreme edition chips? i looked at the manual for the xps700 and i didn't see anything talking about that limitation....

Remember that it will only allow Dual Core Extreme processors such as the Intel 955 & 956 processors to be overclocked.  Non-extreme dual core processors installed will have the Over-Clocking option in the BIOS shaded out.

 

I doubt I'll do any overclocking since I've never done that before, but I too don't see anywhere in the document where it says that only the Extreme Edition will be overclockable.
