I recently bought one of the OcUK pre-built systems, but didn't select the pre-overclocked option as I thought I would give it a go myself.
Processor is an E6750, however CPU-Z is showing Core Speed at 3200MHz (400 x 8) so I'm guessing that it has already been clocked? Memory is on 1:1 FSB
RAM, so I assume this means it is running at 800 MHz. It's Crucial Ballistix 8500, so would I be right in thinking I should increase this to something like 1:1.3 to get the best out of the memory?
I only have 2 Gb RAM at the moment, and have ordered another 2 Gb as it's on offer at the moment. Is it likely to still be stable at this speed, or would it be worth dropping it back slightly. Also, with 4Gb what is likely to be the limiting factor - CPU overclock or RAM speed?
Lots of questions I know, but thanks in advance for any advice.
