You also have a Core2Duo, something donraj does not have. AMD X2s were
not built to be overclocked. Core2Duos are an entirely different matter.

Unless you've got some stupidly good motherboard, you won't get more than 200MHZ and that'll be unstable..

I meant an enthusiast's board, something along the lines of my board lol.
Or one with a 790FX.
Either way, on an X2 it's not worth it.
But I'm assuming you won't have one of that NB/SB combination.
