Overclocking?

[superghz]

Sorry, I am new. What exactly is "overclocking" means? Thanks!

To put it simple.
It's when you increase the Processor Mhz.

Correct me anyone if I'm wrong...

When I increase the processor Mhz?

May be I am too dumb to understand...please explain. Thanks!

Overclocking is running your CPU at speeds faster than its factory rating.

Thanks Jeff. That's interesting.

Now how do I know the processor is running faster than its factory rating?

If you have not changed anything, it is most likely running at the factory setting.

Download "WCPUID 3.0" from a website or just go here to download it.

-->> http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/wcpuid.php

Then use that program to check your CPU speed.
