I know very little to zero about overclocking. I would like to read up on it
and get an idea of the whole concept.
First, could someone please recommend some documentation, etc. that will
give me some insight?
Second, my system is as follows, could someone give me an idea at what speed
overclocking would achieve?
Many thanks in advance, Rob.
