For a new system I'm thinking of getting a :-
CP-126-IN Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-126-IN)
MY-034-GL GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB5300DC) (MY-034-GL)
Now because the memory is 333 does that mean I will be able to overclock the cpu to 2331mhz (7*333)? Which motherboard do you guys recommend? I was looking at either a Gigabyte GA_965P_S3 or a Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3. The DS3 is about £15 more but I can't see any difference in specification on the gigabyte website between the two.
How likely am I to be able to oc my cpu to 2331? Also will I be able to run the ram at the standard 533 speed if I need to?
I've noticed the Gigabyte GA_945PL_S3 is about £75 but that it will only run ram that is 533 so does that mean if I went for that motherboard (i am on a tight budget) does that mean I wouldn't be able to overclock the cpu.
Thanks.
