In my BIOS I have two clock speed options for my CPU: 200 and 400. So I have two questions;
1) If 400 is twice as fast (or more), will it generate twice as much heat? (Or more?)
2) Is there anything else I need to change if I set the clock speed to 400?

This appears to be a 775 socket device.

In which model?
That appears to be a 775 socket setup?
Apologies for the delay: my motherboard is an Asus M2A-VM. It's the original one, not the latest.
The original operating system was Vista. Now I'm running a custom, heavily modified version of XP Pro (though I no longer use that machine online).
The system is already very fast thanks to the driver package I developed with help from Tom's Community and ASUS support.
BIOS is standard for both XP and the motherboard, but I'm using a Nvidia GT 220 if that's relevant. (The card clocks at 500 and 500.)

I remember things easily without formal training, and I've developed very fast computers through trial and error. I experimented with BIOS settings and even made my own RAM drives back in Windows 3.1. I also managed to bypass locked NEC software CDs after support ended. I'm great at thinking creatively, but I still rely on your expertise for more details.
