sorry this kinda falls into both categories ya know? i have a btx dell xps410\dimension 9200 mother board...thats all the info i can get about , the bios is ahci phoenix tech.. ive heard lots about overclocking this cpu and thats all i want to do and its starting to seem impossible..ive used some soft overclockers but there not working plus i hear there alot less stable.. This is driving me insane considering im just looking to get up to around 2.67 ghz from 2.4
