Multiplying the clock is used today to make CPUs faster. The motherboard has a system clock that is slower than the CPU. In order to make CPUs faster they now use a multiplier. For instance if your motherboard speed is 200MHz and the CPU has a 2x multiplier then the CPU runs at 400MHz (2 x 200MHz). Some multipliers are as high as 10x. You would have to check either your BIOS are the manufactorer Web site for your CPU to see how much of a multiplier you have in your CPU. Some systems allow you to manipulate the CPU clock bu making it run faster than it is supposed to, this is called overclocking your CPU and is used mostly by games who want the most speed out of there system.
