Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz
Gainward GeForce 7950GT 512Mb
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz CAS 4-4-4-12

by the way I'm looking to overclock the processor and RAM mainly, I've already overclocked the gfx card slightly but its quite good as it is

quick question before I do anything

Why do I set the Memory Multiplier to x2? what should I raise it to after?

yep your right madmanrizzla.

Well I set all that and had it at 2.7Ghz and then my CPU idled at 50 degrees which I know isn't good...so I've set it back. I think I need some new thermal compound and maybe a better cooler before I try overclocking!!
