I'd guess that they didn't build in any overclocking options. Which is understandable on their part; I imagine providing tech support for most users is hard enough without, "I set the FSB to 350 and now it won't boot!".

Looks like a nice PC anyway, though -- gotta respect HP for putting Athlon64's in there.

Can't say for sure how the BIOS is on yours, but I just worked on a friend's Gateway; and to get into the BIOS on that one, I had to hit Tab at startup to bypass the Gateway logo screen, then hit Delete immediately to get into the BIOS.

EDIT: By the way, welcome to PimpRig!

According to this page, you access the BIOS by pressing the F1 key during bootup.

HP's support page for your d4100e has a series of links to manuals etcereras, as well as articles regarding the BIOS.
