TechnologyThis PC World article gives the inside scoop on secrets that technology companies would rather you not know. This information could help you save money and get the most out of your products.

  • CPUs can be overclocked to run faster than usual
  • You never have to pay full price
  • Standard shipping is sometimes just as fast as more expensive shipping
  • Extended warranty plans are rarely a good deal

  • You can call Amazon, E-bay and other Web businesses and talk to a person, even if they make the number hard to find

  • MP3 players run down unnecessarily quickly

Many other useful hints and pieces of little-known information are included.
