I picked up a cheap C2D machine last night, and it has an intel d975xbx motherboard. I can't spot anything in the bios to allow me to overclock - is it even possible? Cheers, A.

I had that review in my favourites folder (lol) because I was going to buy it about 18 months ago.(ended up with intels P35 board which had ZERO overclockng options) I remember it was the only XBX2 board on intels site at that time so dont know if there was a model before that Check intels site as you should be to get a bios from there just checked could only see the XBX2 here is the link http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D975XBX2/index.htm Cheers Nigel
