Hi,
So I my specs are :
Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
4gb ddr2
ATI XFX 5850
zalman cnps9500 heatsink
1000 gb samsung F2 harddrive
OCZ Fatal1ty Series 550W PSU
2 case fans
My motherboard is a cheap asrock one which cannot be overclocked as the vcore is locked so my question is would I get much of a performance gain in gaming if i were to buy a new motherboard and overclock my Q6600 to 3.6 or higher if possible or is it not worth the hassle and just wait until next year sometime when I have the money to build an entire new machine. Also would another 4gb of ram help with gaming ?.
If you think the above would help can anyone reccommend and cheapish motherboards that are good for overclocking the Q6600 ?, i live in ireland also so no US websites.
