Your idea of overclocking is flawed.
Overclocking is, say, taking a CPU that runs at 1.2Ghz and forcing it to run at 1.6Ghz.
What you're planning on, is, upgrading. Also, you can't just put a 2.5Ghz CPU into the slot of the 1.2Ghz CPU, unless you're positive it's the same socket, and if you're sure the motherboard supports it. You're most likely going ot have to dish out a bit more cash on a new motherboard. If you get the new CPU, and motherboard, you'll most likely need different RAM, so you'll have to dish out more money for that, especially if you want 1024. So, basically, you're talking about a completely different computer, which will run you much more than $300.
