Overclocking, how it is done, depends on the processor and the motherboard. On some motherboards, actually it's the BIOS, you can change the clock multipliers in BIOS. Others may have jumpers, but in some cases you have to actually modify the processor using a tedious process of changing on chip jumpers. I wouldn't want to mess with the latter option. My motherboard allows changing the bus and cpu clock in bios. What will happen though, unless you add new cooling methods is often the OS will crash due to corrupted bus data, memory data, or even instructions. Overclocking should be considered just a hobby for the purpose of "because you can". It's really not useful for regular apps unless you have lots of time and patience to try many different clocking schemes. If you do plan to overclock then get better heat sink and better fans for processor and the case itself. -- Doug
