Is there any difference between overclocking Intel chips and AMD chips?

Intel chips go much higher overclocked, but AMD chips get a better performance gain, IMO

So do both Intel and AMD chip overclock at the same way?

Well, it states that HP computers can not be overclocked.

So do I have to bye a new motherboard or something,cause i'd really like to get the most out of my computer.I plan on buying more ram,graphics card,power supply, plus better fans.I'll also give my exact system specs once I get them figured out as I dont have a lot of time at the moment.Thankyou I appreciate this help.

yes, you will need a new motherboard, but don't buy an intel brand one, it will not overclock.
