    This wont help much your need to wait to the real techies come in!

    All core 2 duo's OC very well, reason being that they run very cool!

    I have heard that my E6750 could run 4Ghz, so your CPU could run 2.7 - 3.5Ghz!


    Thanks

      On air cooling, you will not get any higher than 3.4ghz

      4ghz is phase change cooler territory.

        If you are comfy about doing the oc then go for it.

        Get
        - Intel Thermal Analysis Tool.
        - Cpu-Z

        And read from the net for instructions. There are plenty to choose from.

        I would settle first for some ~3Ghz since FSB1066 processors generally start to need more volts to creep past this mark and since this is your first CPU OC I would play it safe for now and get to know the stuff. Plus this won't push your heat limit too high yet leading to a more stable system.
