Ok....tekky type questions....
firstly, does NE1 know of any website that are useful for overclocking??
How far do you think I could overclock my p150 (I know,I know!!) Im only looking for 50 or 100mhz more -can a p150 cope with that?
I know Im gonna need a new fan and heatsink -but will I need a new power-supply -bcoz I upgraded my PC ages ago -used to be a p75!! but I didnt change my power supply.
I am gonna get a new PC in 6mnths or so...but I wanna see how far I can stretch this one first -Any ideas people???
there isnt alot I can do with the rest of my PC - I just want a bit more processor speed -later on for a laugh, I'll post my 3dbench marks -be prepared for a laugh!!

Well, you probably won't get more than 50 more mhz out of it, and it would probably be cheaper just to buy a penium 200, or 233, than to buy enough cooling to overclock your current processor to that. You should be able to grab a used P200 for about $15 or less.
Also, you might want to get like a PCI TNT2 if you can find one in a store. Just as long as its not a M64.
