Hi, can anyone help me? I havent overclocked before and was wondering if i would be able to use the following components and be able to overclock them.

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe

Corsair (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12)

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

With the above componants i was planning to OC the q6600 to around 3.2Ghz.

(the things im uncertain about are the memory and the MoBo)

Can anyone tell me if these would be sufficant?

regards,

SoleAngelus
