just bought a new dual fan, looking to OC, but have no idea where to start. What do I have to do in the bios? do I have to adjust any jumpers?
PII 400, new to OC'ing need help

From the way you worded your post, first thing you need to understand is how overclocking works. Search the web and read up on it before you try anything.
Yes, you will need to change your jumpers, and you might have to adjust settings in your BIOS. Since you didn't specify what mobo you're using, no one can tell you exactly what you would need to do.
Read up on it BEFORE you try anything!

Asus 440BX
Do you know of any websites specifically designed for this that you could direct me to?

That's not the motherboard model, but it does give some insight. It depends on whether your motherboard is a jumperless model. If it is, you only need to adjust BIOS settings. If not, you have to manually rejumper the board.
I hate to recommend this, but since it's not directing you to the forums, and to actual content, you can check Anandtech , or Tom's Hardware and check their overclocking guides.

Start SLOW when upping the CPU speed. There are alot of sites on the net for OCing various mobo/CPU's.
What motherboard (model and version) do you have?
What new dual fan? (mfg,cfm?)
Just trying to help out here, but you need to know your system better if your going to OC it or you may end up with a fried CPU.

What I got off the purple box was that it's a Asus 440Bx P2B Series. I checked the manual and it appears that it is a jumper motherboard. the manual says that the highest jumper setting is a pII 400 100mhz. does this mean that I can't bump it up higher?
the dual fan i got was a atari cpu cooler. it's probably generic cause it only cost me $22.
