Hi Peter, Overclocking is possible with all CPUs to one degree or another, however, it can be dangerous, not only for your hardware, but it can affect the running of your programs, as well... your system can get unstable as the CPU reaches it "limits". Having worked for many years for a world leader in Graphics hardware, I can tell you that this was very popular at the company I worked for... that said, it is primarily used by Gamers... trying to squeeze every last bit of power out of the system !!!
