Hey.
I heard about a program that accelerates my intel CPU. What is it?

Probably a waste of money. Not sure how it's possible but i doubt it'd make any difference.

The only way to "accelerate" a CPU is to raise the clock frequency, and to do that requires changing the core voltage and FSB.
It's called Overclocking, and Intel chips are locked, meaning that they cannot be overclocked. That is why AMD chips are so popular, most of them are not locked and can be overclocked. However, that appears to be changing lately.

You think that an Intel cpu can't be overclocked because it have a locked multiplier ? If so, check that:
