What does installing more than one processor on a motherboard do?

In order to install extra processors on a motherboard, the motherboard must be designed to allow that. If you have such a motherboard, you probably already have the extra processors. (Such motherboards are typically only encountered in servers.)
Anyway, extra processors allow multi-threaded operating systems to allocate more than one processor at a time, which effectively allows it to run more than one thread at a time. This can increase performance, but it depends on the program's design.
Most modern processors are already multi-core types so, even if you have only one processor, you can probably still take advantage of true multi-threading.

One method of improving performance is installing more than one processor on a motherboard creating?
multiprocessor platform
Running a motherboard or processor at a higher speed than what the manufacturer suggests is called?
Overclocking
Why is running a motherboard or processor at a higher speed than that suggested by the manufactrur not recommended?
Because the motherboard/processor is designed with that speed in mind, so overheating and various other issues can occur much more frequently at higher speeds. Also, the process of running hardware at a higher speed than is standard is called overclocking.
What is the difference between a server motherboard and a normal motherboard?
A server mother is like a normal motherboard except they are geared to a server processor and can hold more than one processor usually. They also support ECC memory which is memory with error correction. They support RAID. And most can are slim to be put in what is called a U1 chassis so they can go on a server rack.
What are the 3 different kinds of component of a computer?
There are more than 3 components in a computer. An example of 3 components that every computer has: Motherboard, processor, memory.
How do you install Linux on a 64-bit processor?
Installing Linux on a 64-bit processor is no different than installing it on a 32-bit processor. Especially on systems that offer both a 32-bit and 64-bit version, the difference is totally transparent, and the install identical.
What is the advantage of Pentium to current Intel technology processor and motherboard?
None, other than that you can get a Pentium I computer for about $5.
Which is a consideration in replacing the motherboard of a computer?
Your question is a bit vague. This is a good way to start upgrading a computer that is say 5 or more years old. Especially if you have already updated (flashed) your bios and put the fastest processor and added the most and fastest memory possible in your computer. Even an inexpensive motherboard for around $50 on can handle the latest processors, memory, etc.
Can a motherboard have more than one bus and different protocols?
A motherboard can have more than one bus and each using a different protocols.
Does laptop processor generate more heat than desktop processor?
NO
Why is it important to insert a processor straight down into the socket rather than sliding the processor in from the side or allowing it to tilt into the socket?
Processor pins, or in modern computers the pins in the sockets, are very delicate and easy to bend. If you insert the processor any way other than straight down, you will bend the pins and likely destroy either the processor or the motherboard, or both.
Which is more powerful the current Celeron processor or the current Xeon processor?
The Xeon processor is stronger than the Celeron processor.
