Bios problem

I just found out i need a 1.5ghz p4 computer to run Doom 3
Right now my 4300 is at 1,596mhz, i have the game Painkiller which minimal requirements is a 1.5ghz computer as well
even with my over clcoked 9700 Pro with Zalman heatsink and 80MM fan attached still runs choppy,
the PC-133 and CPU speed is bottlenecking my performance rigorously.. i want to Over clock the ram to 150mhz and CPU to 1.8
I just need to know how to do this, the only thing i can do on the bios is change the AGP Aperture which i set to 256mb already..
some help would be very appreciated, thanks

I can build a

P4 3.6ghz
1 gig PC-5300 667mhz
X800 XT Platinum Edition
160gb HDD
Audigy 2 ZS

for under 2,900$ shipped with case :D
Dell's prices since the pentium 3's have sky rocketed.
I can built a computer with XPS configurations for about 800$ less.

You can tweak a little extra performance from your processor by adjusting the Front Side Bus setting in Windows.  Programs such as CPUFSB simplify the procedure, but the results are limited.  If the FSB is set too high the machine will become unstable so you will have to play around with the settings to find the right one.  This link here is for a download site that offers a variety of tweaking programs such as CPUFSB.
