I'm interested if this will give my PC a slight performance boost. And if so what needs to take place. my chances of upgrading PCs is next mar-april.

Thanks

You can't Over clock a OEM motherboard on OEM PC's the bios settings are not available to change the manufactures do this for support and warranty reasons.
