How much can I overclock my e6300? I have:

e6300 @1.86 GHz w/ stock cooling

3gb Kingston 667 MHz

intel dg965wh motherboard

Is there a program to download to overclock it? I've never done this before. :)

Without overclocking the RAM you could get that CPU to 2.3 GHz, and maintain a 1:1 CPU : DRAM ratio. 333x7=2331 MHz. Now I can guarantee that CPU can get higher, it just depends on how high the RAM will go. Also I just noticed you have an Intel motherboard. Other than extreme series, Intel motherboards do not overclock, and I would not advise using any thing other than BIOS.

I'd get a new rig before I bothered to overclock.
