Overclocking Intel Core Duo: An HOWTO

The introduction of Core 2 Duo about a month ago delivered a new processor with about a 25% improvement in performance over the fastest chips in the market. The top-line X6800, running at 2.93GHz, was the most flexible of the new processors, with completely unlocked multipliers up and down. This allowed settings like running the stock speed at a 12x multiplier (3.5GHz) at default voltage - the result of the incredible head room exhibited by the new Conroe processors.
