what if i give it more v core?

IS it better to go with one 4gb stick or 2X2gb kit?is there any performance gain by going with 2 gb dual channel config.

anandtech review shows 4.2Ghz as possible but usually 4Ghz is the upper limit. after 3.8Ghz it depends on luck actually. not all chips will go past 4Ghz as not all chips are same.

guys can i buy things from smc?how much time they will usually take to ship the goods?thank you.

yes, jaskanwar & i brought half of pc stuff from SMC. shipping takes 3-5days.

Sukesh, if you have decided to overclock AMD Phenom 955 BE after purchasing it, then do purchase a decent CPU cooler for it. The stock cooler supplied with it is inefficient in heat dissipation & it will also make intolerable noise when it runs on 100% speed.

@ sukesh - you might consider getting a PII X6 cpu and some of them can easily reach 4+Ghz with stock volt ;-)
