Overclocking the G0 SLACR Q6600 to 4GHz
@ 2007/08/19Who doesn’t love a highly overclockable CPU? There isn’t many of us! Every once in a while we'll hear of a golden CPU from someone, this has been going on since the good ole' Celeron 300A days when 450MHz was a walk in the park. As time has gone on there’s been golden Athlons and Intel processors.
The latest processor to join the ranks of this highly competitive field is the Q6600 in the G0 form. With a lower stock voltage compared to the B3 stepping, along with a huge test field it seems clear that the G0 is a real winner.

If single core CPU goes to 5Ghz it will not push performance that much higher, as bottleneck is no longer memory bandwidth, raw CPU power, but disk transfer speed and VGA (for games).
if you want a seriously noticeable performance boost, install a RAM drive which gives you 2000MB/S at least read/write speeds, games loading times will again be limited to CPU power
