overclocking a Q6600

Do you have the P5K? I have BIOS version 0603. I'll PM you later with some pics of my BIOS screen.
 
Overclocking mine, I never wanted to push the RAM, as I wasn't sure how to keep it stable, so keeping it at 1:1 was the best bet. I'm at 3.2ghz so its not bad.
 
To tell you the truth, with the C2Qs and C2Ds, the big factor is the motherboard. You could hit most of those speeds with a stock cooler. These things, do NOT run hot at all. My C2D has about a 1ghz overclock, and the one thing that is stopping me from going further is the motherboard. I know that these e6300s can hit 3+ ghz on some motherboards. My old one couldnt hit 2ghz, same processor though. So make sure you buy a good overclocking motherboard! DFI mobos are pretty good for it, the nforce 6 and 7 series are both pretty good for overclocking.
 
If you want easy overclocking, I've always found Abit's to be great.
I don't know where to start with an Asus board.
 
You may want to change your sig to say 3GHZ. I mean, 3MHZ was probably good back in the day
