processor speed

[Dennis]

i have a 1700mhz p4 with a max of 2400mhz how do i go
about increasing the mhz from 1700 to a higher mhz

Buy a new processor.
Most likely your motherboard is what supports up to 2400
Mhz. Your processor is rated at 1700. There is a
technique called overclocking that allows you to run your
processor higher than the rated speed. However, if you
don't know exactly what you're doing, it is very easy to
destroy your processor doing this.

If you're really interested in it, searching
for "beginner overclocking" on a search engine will give
you lots of hits, just remember to know what you're doing
before trying.

You should prolly try searching google for overclocker
boards.. u'll find a lot of people with experience and
it'll be a good place to ask questions..

Buy a higher speed central processor (CPU) chip. You cannot expect to
make that much difference by 'overclocking'. A 2400 P4 now is likely to
be one also that has expects to be driven from a front side bus (FSB)
speed of 533 MHz and your board probably only does 400. In that case a
Celeron 2400 with 400 MHz FSB might work; but is a doubtful benefit - I
am currently wondering whether to bother from a 1500 P4
