| tweaking components such as processors or graphics cards to faster speeds than they were intended to be run at. I also believe RAM can be tweaked as well.
The core2duo is good for overclocking apparently

OK, and is it easy to do? And how can it be done?

this is a good guide for building a system and the benefits of overclocking
I myself have never tried to but usually settings are changed in the bios on the motherboard. However due to the higher speeds the components need better cooling and a higher voltage to run.
Personally i find the whole thing very complicated. You also run the risk of making the system unstable.

IIRC, Serps opened an overclocking thread a year or 2 ago, its probably gone/archived now though.

| Or even cooking it.
Not for novices, imo | |

The old overclocking thread is now gone, but there was a lot of good stuff in it (I had it stored as a favourite).

Well OTF, it was great knowing you all. But, I'm going to install Ubuntu on my desktop PC in a few minutes so I might only be back during lunchtime if it all goes Pete Tong

Right i have a question. Do PC fans speed up when its getting too hot or do they remain at the same speed? Mine started making a louder noise earlier, and it was boiling in my room
