What speeds can I hit on stock Heatsink/Fan? I am not looking to set a new speed record just wanting to add more power to this chip without spending more money.

GA-P35-DS3R
2GB DDR2-800 (havent picked brand)
E6550


I will be buying this computer in a month or so. I am going to stick with these parts I am about 85% sure. I am hoping newer stuff comes out to drive down these prices it is still a bit out of my upgrade budget.

Also I will be buying a new video card but I havent decided on that yet.

I got the same CPU...I also have DDR2-800 RAM...at stock frequencies, my 2.333GHz CPU runs on a 333(DDR2-667) FSB clock. Putting the CPU up to 2.8ish only takes my FSB to 400(DDR2-800). How much farther you get your system to go from there depends on the quality of your RAM...2.8 will be easy, 3.2 might not...And get DDR2-1066 if you want to get your chip past 3.2, because thats already DDR2-916ish...
