If you want to overclock, the first thing you do is raise your v-core, then step up your overclock till it is no longer stable, then give it more voltage again, and keep stepping up till you see the chip getting WAY too hot, at which point you are done overclocking unless you can find a new cooling solution.

An overclock like that is not possible with the current hardware.
There is more then the CPU to take into account, you also need to watch the other bus speeds, and since this is not a highly featured mother board, I doubt the PCI bus can be locked, if it can't he will risk damaging his PCI cards, and his AGP cards, (and any other device that uses the PCI bus). Further more heat is caused by both voltage and clock speed, voltage causes a quadratic increase, where as clock speed produces a linear increase. Lastly, heat of the CPU is not the only enemy, all the components are stressed when overclocking.
If you are going to give advice, please tell the dangers of it, increasing the voltage is Dangerous; it can destroy components if you push it to high.
