I am about to dabble in overclocking for the very first time.
my system is;
Pentium Dual Core (E5500)
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L
XFX HD4670
Corsair 2GB DDR2(PC2-6400)VS2GB800D2
Samsung 512MB DDR2(PC2-3200)
M3 78T6553CZ3-CCC
I'm aware that my CPU has a locked multiplier and my RAM setup is not the optimal for overclocking.
With that in mind I would like to know;
1. If anyone has any experience with my particular CPU. what is possible with the E5500?
2. do I need to sort the RAM out by removing the Samsung memory and invest in another Corsair
3. Is system likely to bottleneck with the budget GPU, and what can it achieve with AMD overdrive.
please bear in mind I am poor, so I cannot afford a huge system upgrade. I could possibly afford a new CPU cooler if needed.
