Intel P4's with HT typically run at an 800mhz front side bus speed.
Your CPU is currently running at 400mhz FSB (Half of what it should be). I established this way back when you posted the screenshot and it showed me your multiplier and FSB ("3.75 x 400").
If your motherboard only supports a max of 533mhz then you'd be able to bump it up to that, and nothing more. The most you'd get out of your current multiplier settings would be 3.75 x 533 = 2ghz.
If you bump up the multiplier, you could possibly get it higher, but you'd be basically doing trial and error and could actually damage the CPU or motherboard doing so.
Bad news? Dell lock the FSB and multiplier.
You could use software based overclocking, but as I said, you could damage your motherboard and CPU.
