Hello all, Im new to the forums but I have gathered a lot of information from here and think its a great community. I recently put in an order for a new dell xps 720 Red Desktop computer and went with the Quad Core Q6600 chip instead of the 3.0 ghz duo core chip. I was wondering if it will be possible for me to over clock it to around 3.0 ghz? I saw that it could be over clocked up to 3.66 ghz but I wasnt sure if i was going to be restricted since its a dell and im not building it myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
