Depends on the motherboard attached to your FE processor....some have jumpers that you can configure to change the clock speed and bus speed. you need a manual for our motherboard.

Generally, it's not worth it. You might see a small improvement, but you increase the risk of burning things up. What kind of equipment do you have?

The RAM is a good thing. That will help more than anything.
