mobos like Wipro 945GCT mostly used in budget OEM pcs and such pcs don't allow ocing .. so the only option left for you is to try SetFSB app.

Is it safe to use that app. I mean i had never test that app so increase the risk of system failure.

OCing is always a risky business do it using some app or through bios setup but still I won't recommend you to OC the cpu .. if possible try to get a cheap G41 mobo from Asus .. it should at-least allow you to OC the cpu but I still think your PSu is not good enough for OCing.

You're lot better making efforts to make a clean upgrade. Sometimes, its best to move on.
