System Main Board

What is the system crystal on the main board?
What is the system crystal that sets the system bus clock and CPU clock?
If you up the system crystal on the motherboard? Like the clock cycles?
I really confused about the bus speed , CPU speed ? And what the system crystal does?
How can you change the bus speed or CPU speed to get higher GHz?
The crystal is a piece of quartz mounted in a small metal can the size of a bug. It does a curious thing... it vibrates electrically at a speed proportional to it's size. The tiny tiny electrical signal is amplified by an integrated circuit (IC), which uses it as the basis to generate a whole set of computer level voltages, each one going on and off at different speeds. The IC chip is usually designed to use a crystal of a specific speed, and in this way it can accurately (or as accurately as the tolerance of the crystal) generate the clock signals used by a computer.
This is also why some watches are more expensive than others, good watches use a crystal with a tighter tolerance, which is more expensive to produce.
You really don't want to change this crystal on your computer board unless you really, really know what you are doing (like you built the board from a kit). The chip which generates the clock signals can be changed programmatically to generate different speeds, so the crystal itself doesn't change... the way the crystal's base frequency is multiplied changes.
The multiplier is usually set automatically by the BIOS when the computer starts, but you can 'overclock' your system by forcing this multiplier higher. I strongly recommend you don't do this... instead of getting a faster computer, you'll burn out the slow one you won't have anymore when you have to buy a faster one anyway. If your CPU could take the extra speed, they would have already sold it with that rating.
