you basically increase the clock of the cpu to increase its speed. Its not necessarily linked to gaming. As you can see in the last benchmark I posted, you can get significant performance gains by overclocking, though that often entails spending a bit on better cooling. If you don't need or want to overclock, that is fine. I just wanted to underline the distinction that, clock for clock, the i920 is faster, but it comes with a lower stock clock so at stock speeds they are very similar.
