Sometimes "good enough" isn't. Hardware hackers who feel this way often resort to overclocking to boost the speed of their PCs--changing motherboard settings in order to push components beyond their rated speeds. For instance, a 233-MHz Pentium II processor may be overclocked to run at 266 MHz. Hardware makers warn against overclocking, and the practice doesn't always work. But many computerphiles have been tweaking a bit more speed out of their systems this way for years.

This is setting the processor speed above the normal recommended speed. With the right cooling and voltages set this is a good way to speed up your system. However make a mistake and you will fry your system. I suggest experts only!
Just for those that want bigger, better, faster, more. If you run some emulation games it can be handy. For most PDA uses it just drains the battery faster :)
