Socket 775 upgrade help

[shadow_boxer]

Currently running a "coal powered" Athlon XP 2600+, but have managed to pick up a socket 775 mobo (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-101-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1485...

...am looking for a decent budget CPU (with a view to do some OC'ing) and some RAM.

Just wondering what you would recommend?

Been considering a Q6600

thanks

The Q6600 sounds like a pretty good choice.

I dont know much about memory so probably wouldnt overclock it. Would you recommend going to 800mhz or 1066mhz?

PS. how easy is it to overclock memory?
