I am getting a core 2 Duo E6600 sys soon (hard not to with all the hype) and i was wondering if anybody knows what the chances are of acheiving a 3.6Ghz overclock and/or what it would take to do so

this is based on the fact that i read somewhere about getting the E6300 to 421Mhz Fsb on air cooling, and somewhere else getting a X6800 to 3.6Ghz on air cooling

I understand it's possible, with a decent motherboard, and air cooling to take the E6600 higher than 3.6GHz. Of course, individual chips and other parameters will affect that, but I would guess it's not going to be an uncomfortable procedure. I'll be getting mine in a few days, so I guess we will both find out soon enough.
