Doesn't matter that much. Make the boot disk and run Memtest every time to make sure it's stable, and beyond that, very little matters. Just remember to go slowly-- you can hurt your hardware by going too fast. Heaven knows I've done it before.

Same deal. Make a boot disk, then go into the BIOS and start raising the clock speed slowly. I warn you, though, that Dell mobos aren't known for their overclocking abilities. Once it starts freezing or restarting, don't push it farther, just back off.

how do i make a boot disk?

Unzip this and burn it to a CD using "burn ISO to CD" (don't just burn the file to CD). You'll have to use a program like Nero or EasyCD Creator.

@ bronxblaza117, you mind making your own topic?
@ gmanych, he already got an E6300
@ talisman, have a look in the BIOS
press del or F1 to enter the BIOS setup (during bootup, the key you use depends on the motherboard)
your overclocking options will be there, probabbly under advanced settings or something
I'd suggest putting a memory divider of 5:6 on, and raising the FSB to 333MHZ, making a core speed of 2331MHZ
the memory divider at 5:6 will keep the RAM at DDR400 (200MHZ, which is what your RAM is designed to run at)
if that works, you could then try putting the RAM divider at 1:1 and putting the FSB to 400MHZ (the memory divider at 1:1 will still keep your RAM at DDR400)
that will make a core speed of 2800MHZ. the C2D may be able to run at that speed, though it depends on each CPU. you might have to increase the core voltage.

oh well, it's still an improvement...
does that board have an automatic memory divider? (keeping the RAM at 200MHZ no matter what)

i assume so. There is no option in the bios to change the memory divider..
it's this cheap board. It was the only one i could find that'd take my 4x512meg DDR.

well it would make sense.. the C2D has a different FSB.. plus, the board would also be backward compatible with the Pentium 4's/Pentium D's
and C2D is designed for DDR2; the memory controller would be different
