Looking to Safely O/C without a great deal of expense. Wanting just a little bump to say 3.0 GHz. Remember I've never done this so a step by step guide would be appreciated. I am looking at putting in 4GB OCZ pc6400 800 MHz. Am I heading in the right direction? Where can I get an O/C tool to monitor my progress? :pt1cable:
