Overclock your AMD to run faster.
Overclocking is not a task to be taken on by the beginning computer user. When you overclock a computer, you make it run at a faster processor speed, but you have to account for the type of motherboard, memory and fan that you have equipped to the computer. In some cases, you will need to purchase new hardware (like a stronger fan) to account for the extra heat that will be generated from the faster processor. Either way, do not overclock your computer unless you are certain that your motherboard, memory and fan can handle your specific AMD Athlon X2 4200 running at a faster processor speed.
