What is your fram rate?

[Changeup]

FSB Clock is 267 Mhz on the CPU (Freq is 2403 Mhz) and the Multiplier is 9X,PCI clocks are 2500Mhz,Memory is 801 mhz, and the 250 I put back in is:

Core 738
Mem clock 1000
Shader 1836

DDR3 and 1 gig

I updated the BIOs when I got the 460 and no more are available.

Thanks for your help

A 20-25% OC should be pretty easy for you to achieve with any Intel chip and a jump from 1066 to 1333 is exactly 25% however, you may need to go to an aftermarket cooling solution to do so.  The stock Intel heatsink/fan just doesn't cut it above stock speeds.  Your video card memory speeds are irrelevant and at 1333 you're not going to use more than 667 mhz of RAM speed regardless how fast your RAM is and you may only be using 333 mhz (I'm not sure if those quad cores are double pumped or not... the Core2duos and Wolfdales are).

I've got an E6750 (2.66 Ghz) OC'd to 3.2 Ghz (1600 fsb) in a 780i w/4 Gb DDR2 800 and an eVGA 512 Mb 8800 GTS and run all sliders maxed, high res textures, no shadows at 60fps pushing a 22" 1680x1050 LG LCD steady in all situations in game.  The 780i is a dream to OC with.  Not sure about the 680i.  I use a $35 Arctic Freezer 7 Pro to cool my CPU.

Alright men....lets try to OC this machine!!!  WHOOOOOOOT! IN

Lets see....only lazy people say things like, "why even bother?"...to learn

Sorry, didn't know I was lazy, but thanks for the catagorization. I guess I should have said something like "will you notice any change in performance?"

My monitor can handle three refresh option: 60 Hz, 70 Hz and 75 Hz.

Which could be the best?

 

It will be up to your vid card. HZ=max fps/vsync on.....  I would use 75 Hz
I have an old compaq monitor that can run 85 Hz my video card runs it at 85fps in the sky crusin and around 65-75fps with lots of action.

In any event you will only get the max number of frames per second as your monitor suports HZ assuming your video card can keep up.

Because I'd like to get to run all the eye candy if possible.  I have promised my son (9yr old) that we will build a computer this summer so I suppose it won't be an issue after that but learning to OC sounds like a cool thing to know how to do...especially if you can get a year or so out of your old one from a performance perspective...or if OCing allows you to use some peripherals that might normally be just a little out of reach for the standard settings on a rig.

PS - All this talk of processors and FSB's is making me wonder if those two things are 2/3's of the FR equation instead of just small parts.

Have you guys read the ACES HIGH GRAPHICS GUIDE?

It goes through all of the settings and explains frame rates, v-sync, AA and a whole lot of other stuff.. you might learn something!
