44 Optimizing Performance
Altering the CPU operating frequency (commonly referred to as
over-clocking
) enables you to increases the
speed of the processor to a frequency that is faster than the processor manufacturer’s design specifications,
and possibly enhance the overall performance of your system.
Dell does not guarantee that your computer will function or remain stable during the use of any extended
operating frequencies. If your computer shuts down unexpectedly or is unstable, select a lower operating
frequency for the CPU.
You can make limited adjustments to the CPU operating frequency in system setup (see "System Setup"
on page 134).
