Hello. Since I have little experience with AMD cpu's I was wondering if you fine folks could answer a few questions that I have.
I have an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2 stepping 2.2Ghz that is in a HP mobo that I would like to replace so I can overclock it. I think that I can use a AM2+ mobo correct? Also, how high of an OC can I expect and what kind of a voltage increase is the norm? If I can only get to 2.6GHz then would that warrant investing in an after market cpu cooler or would I be cranking up the vcore significantly?
Thanks for your help.
