Overclock it but you might need to buy additional cooling (bigger heatsink and fan).
Overclocking
You can overclock it. Usually the option is there in the BIOS or you need to make some jumper modifcation on the Motherboard. However you can overclock a processor only upto a certain limit and not beyond that.

Having said that, Overclocking is generally not recommened by Processor manufacturers. It tends to heat up the processor and reduces Processor life. There might be some other side effects too. OVERCLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Also there is no significant speed diff betwwen a 2.4 GHZ and a 3GHZ. My suggestion is that you be Happy with your 2.4 GHz!!
i hate to repeat what has been posted but many people are correct with overclocking. but most of the time the processor is not the source of your %26quot;bottleneck%26quot; you can over clock your system IF your motherboard allows it, but most PC's purchased are locked at their speeds. ram on the other hand is where most companies cheap out as do most consumers in their purchases. and since a computer is as fast as its slowest part id suggest making sure you have the fastest RAM your board can handle. if you do have the fastest RAM that your board can handle overclocking of the CPU is your only option, if you have a AMD based system the easiest way to increase the clock speed is to increase the CPU multiplier, which can be raised without any voltage increase. doing this will not require an additional heatsink purchase as most suggest, as the speed will be from the same amount of current to the cpu. and most heatsinks have a set thermal dispersion. but if you have a Intel based system i suggest you search forums for people who have the same motherboard.
The only thing you'd probably have to buy is a better cooling system for your case. Start with the CPU cooling fan, usually those stock ones are awful. Then you can think about the other fans.



There is a free program called Speedfan which allows you to monitor temperatures inside your PC. It's not always the most accurate, but it roughly will tell you whether you're seriously overheating or not.



Then it comes down to overclocking, which is free.



BUT. Do a lot of reading, and searching around on Google to learn the basics. I've read guides, how-to's, etc, and it's still a pain. Even %26quot;experts%26quot; take hours upon hours to stabilize an overclocked system to keep it from crashing, blah blah, etc. It takes a lot of time and effort to know what you're doing, and honestly, you're better off working a few more hours out of the week for the paycheck and just buying a new processor. With overclocking you're not going to see a massive increase, somewhere between 10 and 20% unless you've been doing it for years.



But it's always a good idea to upgrade your fans or add fans when doing a lot of gaming and such, the stock stuff on most computers is terrible and your system may run very hot.
easiest way is to actually change the processor, however if you got a good cooling system you can try risk it and overclock.
