What to expect from clocking this

[rodders]

BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3P (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA663)

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail


I scored 9900 in 3dbenchmark 06 from a fresh install of vista 64. I clocked the g/card a little and got just over 10,000. I noticed that people are scoring around 13,000 odd points with similar set ups. Would that require water cooling etc...I only have air cooling.

i think that those people would have overclocked their processor.

from what i've seen it isn't hard to overclock that processor to around 3ghz on stock cooling, or aftermarket air cooling.
