I just got a very good deal on a used (3 month old) Dell Optiplex 960 with a Q9550 CPU. I know that the BIOS doesn't allow O.C.'ing and is limited at best, so I'm likely going to have to use a Windows based (XP) program to give it a modest "kick up".
It looks like RMClock does not support the Yorkfield CPU, so that's out. That leaves me with ClockGen (last know rev. 1.0.5.3 may not support Yorkfield either) or CrystalCPUID.
I know that I may have to upgrade the CPU cooling also, but any suggestions (other than scrap the Dell) on what to try ?
(I'm only looking for a modest OC, say up to 3.0 - 3.2Ghz.)
Thanks for your time. .......... Tom ...........
