Oh you have to go to your main profile. I only went to the RTWH one and could't find it.

For any non-experienced OCer wondering if they should "get into" overclocking, generally I'd answer no, for reasons in the link that Adder provided. If you want to learn about it in depth, then try it... its OK. But the catch is mainly time and effort. There are lots of 'gotchas', and while few are catastrophic, you can make headaches in other areas that you might not intuitively suspect at first. The performance gains for most "average" windows machines are greater (and cheaper) if you simply optimize your existing OS and software, and drivers.
I just thought what it was exactly and if I was doing it when I ran many programs at once.

Ah, what you are thinking of is probably "multitasking" not "overclocking". Multitasking is running multiple programs at once, like burning a CD, spell-checking a document, watching an AVI, and surfing/posting. For example, I am doing 5 tasks at this moment, or multitasking. My CPU and machine is, at the moment, set to "normal" settings in hardware and BIOS, and so it is not overclocked.
