overclocking

I saw this question and just had to ask.

How can I do this on my own PC, where do I find this software if it exists for your computer and what can I do?

I never considered overclocking before because I know myself and I know I'd mess up my hardware in some stupid accident or mistake, but if I can just do it through software it'd be nice to give it a shot.

It's an Inspiron 1520 laptop, and I'd be happy to provide any other information you need to assist me in this.
