Watercooling isnt a good idea, its expensive, and barely any better than top air cooling. Can you link to your motherboard? As for speeding it up, if its an AM2 motherboard, then should be able to drop in a faster processor. You can quite easily overclock amds, but they dont overclock as much as intels.

Agreed to a certain extent, cheap (even mid range watercooling to an extent) isn't worth it as good air cooling will be pretty much as good at keeping your system cool. A "good" watercooling set up wll cost well into 3 figures.
