on motherboards it a port that allows a fan to connect to it to cool a CPU/ Northbridge heatsink in bios PC health menu it registers the speed of fan to make sure the CPU ain't to hot and fan spinning maximum speed
you cant actualy raise the CPU speed but just improve the speed of the cpu, one way on PC is to got to S trt --> Control Panel --> System and Security --> Power Options, then click on High performance under Plans,( if you dont see High Performance, click on Show additional plans)
If it is core 2 duo working @ 3.06GHz it is enough fast for pretty much everything, except heavy rendering and etc... For a home PC it is enough.
Right click on "My computer" and choose properties. At the bottom right corner of the first tab should be listed your CPU type & speed.
The CPU

The CPU and the Motherboard bus(called the Frontside Bus) run at 2 different speeds. The Frontside bus runs at the speed that was specified for that particular motherboard and is powered by a crystal that sends electronic pulses over the bus at a steady rate. For instance you're bus speed may be 100MHz. But your CPU speed may be 800Mhz. The reason is that the CPU manufactorer build in a multiplier into the CPU to make it faster. In the example I just gave you, the multiplier is 8x. So 100MHz bus speed times 8 = 800MHz CPU speed. Now if you want to figure out the throughput you multiply the CPU speed (800MHz by 8(8 byes). And you have the throughput of 1600MB or 1.6GHZ. If you bought a PC with these calculations it would be a PC1600. Finally, the reason it is 8 bytes is because motherboard bus these days send data in 64-bit chunks which is 8 bytes.
there are a lot of ways to speed up PC. the best way is to upgrade hardware to speed up PC if you don't want to spend money,l suggest you to use this PC optimize called Fastwindowstweaker to instantly and safely speed up slow PC.
The PC (program counter) is a CPU memory variable, commonly called a "register," that the CPU uses to track where the current executing instruction is located in memory, or on some CPUs, where the next instruction to execute is. Without a PC, the CPU would not know where the code it is currently executing is stored, and thus would not be able to run programs.
1. Do you own(use) a Mac or PC? 2. What do you think works better?
Use something called a CPU cooler. They have it at any reputable PC store or online at Newegg or CompGeeks. They work but make sure you know what you're doing before trying them.
As Many as your Memory (RAM) and CPU SPeed can handle. If you are lucky enough to purchase a newly retired NASA PC, This concern of your your will magically disappear.
