Well, personally, I don't think that your Core 2 Duo would hold your HD 5670 back very much. The only software I know that can overclock non-Nehalem based CPUs (anything without a 'i' after the Core, e.g. Core i3 - i7 is Nehalem) through Windows would be SetFSB.

Here's a kind-of review of SetFSB on Toms.

I tried using that but dont understand what clock generator to select, because there is a big long list =S

As far as I know, there's no software overclocking that can overclock most modern motherboards.

Anyway, as for SetFSB, there's a guide, it also includes on the guide on how to find on your PLL my looking at your motherboard.
