Overclocking...

Is it possible to overclock the CPU of a pre-made computer?
Cos I know you can if you build it yourself (don't know how to but still)
If it is possible, how do i do it and by how much? (I have an Intel Celeron D CPU at 3.46GHz)
Thanks
peace, love and empathy

when you say "pre-made" what exactly are you referring to? A dell/hp? Made bij a shop? a friend? give us more details

btw, the Celeron D is quite a slow CPU for the Mhz, you have to get near 5ghz overclock to get a somewhat speedier system, if your motherboard supports it, you might be better of with a small CPU upgrade, Core 2 Duo
