Hoping to upgrade in Jan/Feb. I'm (only) hoping to get "near E6600" performance from a E4300. I've never OCed before, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Components : Intel E4300, Gigabyte GA-965P-S3, GeIL GX22GB5300DC DDR2-667.
Plan : Raise FSB to 266 ( 266 x 9 = 2400 MHz ). That's it.
Why : Would like a stable non-stressed system with stock HSF that would last "forever".
Since the system would be at FSB 1066 I wouldn't be stressing the mobo/NB at all.
And, since the memory would be at DDR2-533, I could use tighter timings.
The only OCed component would be the processor.
Comments & suggestions welcome.
