Hey folks. Not a ton of overclocking experience here but I am familiar with the process. I am upgrading my core components on a budget of roughly $500 and the UD3P seems to be a solid starting point. From what i have read the Q6600 looks like my processor because of price, overclockability and the fact that I multitask like a fiend. I will be using air cooling- probably the freezer 7, unless someone has a better recommendation. Regarding memory... I don't see alot of consensus when it comes to ram speeds and brands etc. Could someone knowledgeable give me a shove in the right direction and some solid reasoning/numbers behind it? I would soo appreciate it. Also if anyone has any benchmarks or settings they would like to share (with the same components) I would love you long time.
