That sounded funny, Jim.
It is called Overclocking, or quickening the speeds of the CPU. Graphics are more toward RAM and GFX cards, but the processing of graphics does get better. Performance is the reason you OC, to get quicker processing, response. This is not to be taken lightly by newbies. One wrong miscalculation, and you can damage your motherboard, RAM and/or CPU. Slaymate and Soul here can help you with that, if you ever want to pick a stab at it. I had previous experience with overclocking. It was just so long ago that I did it. You would get more performance in games with you GFX card and RAM. All an CPU overclock will do is speed up the loading time, and loading maps. You can do it on any computer that has the option in BIOS. Some big manufacturers of computers, Dell for example, will disable this function, because if you screw the overclocking up, they will have to pay for another computer. So they say no to overclocking. But any self-build computer will. Laptops are also often locked from overclocking. As they already run hot, an overclock would fry it.
Think I covered the basics...
