Intel Pentium D processors are a series of processors designed to run on desktop computers. The processors installed in computers handle data and work with the computer to complete processing tasks. The faster the Intel Pentium D 2.6 GHz processor handles tasks, the faster the associated computer operates. Overclocking a computer's processor speeds up the processor's task completion, boosting computer performance. Settings in the BIOS of the PC are changed to overclock the Intel Pentium D 2.6 GHz processor.
