Someone told me that an Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 can be overclocked from 1,8GHz to 3GHz, that be at niveau of those High-End CPUs!!!!
He said that's possible because of the good relation of multipilicator, fsb etc., ehich is better than the E6300 one.
Is that true? Just because of it would be a GREAT cpu for those who don't want to pay more than 100€ and get a power others get for 300€.... Huh

regardless of what you hear, you do get what you pay for in a CPU, video card, memory, etc

Just because you may be able to clock a 1.86GHz processor to 2.6-3.0, assuming you have the right cooling installed, does not mean you will get the same performance as a QX67-68, etc processor. That is a myth and not true. Yes you will see increased performance but you wont get the same out of it as the more expensive processor.

GHz is a number, a clock speed. That does not mean other properties of the CPU will be jacked up in linear value.

there are many ways and all are dangerous, for cpu, the resulting performance that should be higher because of overclocking but is lower because of not enough power, or too much heat and a bad cooling....
But google for it!
There are lots of sites specialized for it.

You most likely won't be able to do it if you bought a pre-built system because they tend to lock those features out of the BIOS. Chances are, if it is one of those(dell, gateway, hp, sony.. whatever..) they put standard hardware in them usually(nothing over-the-top in quality) that won't be able to handle an overclock and most likely overheat before you saw any benefit from it.

Yeah, you could put an aftermarket heatsink and cooler on the processor.. but you'll probably end up needing to put something better on the chipset as well.. You might be able to keep down the heat that way.. but the gates in the circuitry probably aren't high enough quality to fire-off quick enough to direct data where it needs to go.. causing errors.. and crashes..
