You need to manually change your bus for ram in the bios. your mobo can handle 800fsb so make sure you are using better ram to oc it. pentium D range can safely hit 3.6 from the factory. Im guessing you might be able to hit 4-4.2ghz but you will need to use a better heatsink fan for cooling purpose. The thermaltake V1 is the highest rated one there is atm runs about $60 USD. I think coolermaster has a subzero7 or something like that for half the price or lesser. To hit 4ghz tho your bus would have to change from 133 to 160. This will also need a decent power supply for overclocking as well as getting there in baby steps.maybe even slightly increasing your voltage use. plugging a larger number might not just work.
Like spoon said you might need a program to help you keep it stable. Good luck on that I dont know of many besides the ones that come with oc mobo like asus or gigabyte. Try to grab prime 95 while your at it to run it after you oc it to make sure its stable imo.
Now lastly your temps are usually measured in Celsius not fahrenheit. 70F = 21c which is very low on temp. 70c = 158 which is very hot and wont be able to oc. Most ppl who take core2duo's and oc them are going up 5-10c on idle a and maybe 10-15 on load depending on how high they oc it. you really want to stay undr 65c. 65c-100c is the rating on frying an intel chip. In the end the more heat it takes on the abuse side the sooner it will die. the avg life of a computer is 10 years but like a car could be more depending on how it it taken care of and how often you tune it up etc...etc.. etc..
