Re: Overclocking a Core 2 Duo

its also very rough to squeeze the lemon while running four sticks of ram


four gigs is a waste if you are running a 32 bit OS


In your shoes I would get two sticks of DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) with tight timings 4-4-4-12 that can run at 2.1 volts (total ram 2 gigs)

then you can ramp things up for optimal performance


manual overclocking is what you need to delve into; there are no quickie short cuts with software or easy settings >>>> when you talk about hitting 3.0 ghz and maybeeeee above

your pushing your E6600 to the end it will do it; but things have to be just so!
