Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 CPU,

I have just bought the above cpu for cheap and want to know can it be over clock much from 2.13 on the stock fan that is supplied? and if i got another fan for it what can they be overclock safely to.

Intel Core2 Duo E6420 + 4CoreDual-VSTA M/b Base unit with 1.5gb ddr1 ram for now, that board is a dual board like and im on a budget hence why i need it.

what type of fan would anyone recommend, nothing too costly though.

still thought a 2.4 in a core 2 duo is better than a amd3200 thought yea? also it seems that setup will take 667 ram, but i can get the 800 cheap, will the pc 800 down clock to run or would it just be better to but the pc-5300?

So in total then 2.4 is the max i can reach out of this kit yea? like the multiplyer cant be changed or anything to allow it to go faster no?

thanks mate but the one i have is the amd 3200 with the barton core, its not even 64bit so surely that sould be a good improvement on its own.
