Overclocking is making your PC run faster than it does. Nothing else is needed, except possibly more cooling.

OK

So i read the link phosho gave me and i understand the overclocker is a multiplier of your computer....im not sure what that means..........but is it free and how do i get one???

Overclocking is done in the BIOS. You can either raise your FSB to achieve a higher CPU clock speed (CPU clock = fsb x multiplier) or you can change your multiplier if your proccesser allows. (Usually done via jumpers on the mainboard.)

Be sure to have adequate CPU cooling before you try. If your CPU is already idling at 40*c or more, wait!
