is the process of squeezing more CPU cycles out of their chips by forcing the processor to run faster than it was designed to. Some people do this by increasing either the FSB or the clock multiplier of the CPU. New CPU’s today “LOCK” the multiplier, so the only way to tweak the CPU is by increasing the FSB. The advantage of this is that your CPU runs at faster speed for a lower price than buying a chip designed for that speed. The bad part is the CPU may need more voltage to support the faster speed and that increases the amount of heat that is generated. It also voids the warranty on your PC.
