Any CPU can be overclocked to improve performance, however this may shorten it's life span, cause overheating and stability issues, and usually voids the warranty.

Some manufacturers (such as Dell) will put inhibitors on the computer to prevent you from making changes to it's operation. This is usually called 'Locking' or being 'Locked'.
