I admit I am very new to computers. I have been wondering whether I should OC my Q6700 or not. I really have no need to atm, as the only games I really play arent very demanding (COD4 being the most demanding). I dont play Crysis :O and I dont plan on buying it in the near future. But I feel that I could be getting more out of my rig than what I already do. I literally have no idea wtf I am doing, I looked in the OC guide pinned at the top but it wasnt much help :/
1.) What are the 'timings' that have to do with RAM? What do they have to do with OCing?

Is this a good mobo to OC with?

Is this good Memory to OC with? I have 4 x 1GB sticks.
I dont want to overclock insanely high, but moderately enough to get an overall better performance out of the PC. I was thinking up to at least 3.0Ghz ? That is if it isnt hard to do. ATM I do have (what my freind told me) a good fan, (thermaltake V1). And My PSU is 600watts, dunno if that effects OCing much.
I just want to know where to get started. Thanks ahead! :D
