However, be careful if you look into overclocking:
a) it's risky and takes a lot of time, effort, and knowledge to do right
b) some manufacturers void your system warranty if you overclock
c) your CPU will run at speeds that the Heatsink(s) may not be able to handle, causing SERIOUS system damage unless you have a special cooling system
d) Although the speed may increase, the overall load on the entire system will as well.
If you think it is worth the risk, then overclocking can also be a fun way to find an excuse to update and upgrade various PC systems and components.
