Night Fox:
I figured this related to gaming, the way I'll be using it.
1. How do you do it?
2. Does it require opening the actual PC case?
3. How can I figure out my current processor(?) rate?
4. What effects will it have on Blockland/Gmod/CS:S?

1. How do you do it? I'm guessing Google's broken?
2. Does it require opening the actual PC case? No.
3. How can I figure out my current processor(?) rate? Start>Run>dxdiag
4. What effects will it have on Blockland/Gmod/CS:S? It'll run slightly/somewhat faster.

If you're going from like 2.0Ghz to 3.0Ghz and it is stable (i.e. it doesn't crash everytime you open your web browser or the embedded calculator) it is worthwhile.
