Interested to know the answer to this too, my core 2 duo is stuck at 2.5ghz and won't overclock any higher due to my terrible choice of motherboard.

It will be to an extent but nothing to worry about as most games are GPU limited these days.

Very unlikely,the Q6600 is a very fast processor even at stock.

Having said that though an overclock wouldn't hurt,most will do 3GHZ on stock volts and with a vcore bump 3.2GHZ+ in most cases.

There shouldn't be a bottleneck if you play at a high resolution.

If you play at a lower resolution just increase the AA+AF settings to give the graphic card a bit of a workout.
