best cpu for Badaxe

[Seldarine]

Hi,

Although I have a nice spanking new raid 0 array and a 4870 card, my core components are 2 years old now, e6600 cpu and intel badaxe MB.

Im going to do a proper rebuild once nehalem has been given time to mature but im thinking of upgrading my cpu now to do me another 6 to 9 months.

What is the best cpu I can fit into this board at moment ?

not to keen on overclocking, I live in portugal now and my room temps are quite abit higher than in the UK, but i could give it a shot i guess

also, how to i unlock the overclocking features in the bios ? they seem to be hidden by default

never mind upon further reading apparently the bios is hardware locked out and i need to short 2 pins on the motherboard to unlock it
