Can someone explain

in SIMPLE terms

"over clocking"

And I am asking in HERE because I thought some kind person
might explain it in 5 cent words and not send me 10 links.

I have a reading impairment, and 10 pages of Microsoft
"Documentation" are not going to help.

I'd like to know,

1. how to
2. is it advisable?
3. do I need to buy anything?
4. what it accomplishes

TIA


And if this is the wrong group, forgive me. And perhaps some
kind soul could direct me to the right group.

I simply have found other groups NOT helpful, and this group
has been QUITE helpful.

oh! and my system is an AMD Duron 1.8
fan for up to 3 Ghz

ASUS A7V8X-X mobo

512 Mb RAM

3-D Fusion nVidia GeForce MX 4000
8X AGP 128 mb 275 Mhz
RAM DACS Dual 350 Mhz

200 Gb hdd, 80 Gb ext hdd.
