hi, im from the philippines and my rig got these specs

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHZ, CPU-Z Values - (Multiplier: 23x, BUS Speed: 133Mhz, Rated FSB: 531.9Mhz, DRAM Frequency: 199.5, FSB:DRAM 2:3, CAS# Latency: 5.0)
RAM: 1GB DDR2 667(currently running at 533 bec. of CPU)
GPU: Palit GeForce 9400 GT, 512MB DDR2, Core Clock: 700Mhz(Max:720Mhz), Shader Clock: 1781Mhz(max at 1840), Memory Clock: 420Mhz(max at 420Mhz)
MoBo: ASRock ConRoe1333-D667(R2.0)

i can change my CPU frequency but cant set my voltage in BIOS, coz i cant see it, and i think i cant set voltages with this MoBo.

If you can't see voltages in the bios it probably means you won't be able to OverClock much if at all. Consider yourself taught? You overclock a P4 by increasing the FSB. Increasing this may cause instability without proper voltage increases, cooling, and power. There are a number of guides to consult online. I wish you the best of luck figuring this out.

i saw something like a voltage in the BIOS but the settings to set was just AUTO, HIGH, LOW, anything about that?

i tried overclocking by changing the CPU Frequency to 150 and i got a result of 3.50 Ghz from 3.06 and tried using ORTHOS Test for an hour.

coz i'll be making a new rig by December any recommendations?

kumusta TeachMe? 3.5GHz without a vcore increase isn't bad, especially if it is Orthos stable.
Maybe settle on that until you get your new PC :).

Vcore is the voltage going to your cpu. Because you are having glitches @ 3.5 running orthos, you will need to increase the vcore to try and stabilise it, or reduce the overclock until you can get orthos stable.
Magandang suerte

Try the vccm at low settings to start with and see if you are orthos stable. Work things higher from there, but be careful and watch your cpu temperature.

Just make sure there is no dust in the hsf and the fan is spinning up to speed. That is a little bit warmer than I would like :).
