Upgrading drivers or reinstalling XP

This may be a silly question but,if I was to upgrade my drivers or reinstall XP would my overclock settings be wiped out,ie at the moment I've a Q6600 2.4 running at 3.2,it was overclocked by OCUK.
Would it still run at that speed after any changes to the os or drivers??? Thanks for any replies

Overclocking would be set in the BIOS so it will be fine to go ahead and either install new drivers, or go for a new install.

So its only if I was to upgrade the BIOS that my Oc settings would be effected?

If you mean flash the BIOS then yes the settings will be returned to default and your overclocked settings gone. Best bet is to take note of all your BIOS settings before flashing.
