Settings for Intel E6750 and Asus P5B

[JHA]

Bought this second hand system very, very cheap, can someone help a noob with the best settings?

I know the E6750 can be clocked up to 3-4 GHz, but I'm a little nervous about the process.

Cooling should be Ok (38 C. iddle), I installed a Zalman CNPS 7500.

Specs:

Intel CPU E 6750 2.66 Ghz
Graphics card: ASUS EN7950 GT 500 Mb
Mobo: ASUS P5B
Memory: 1x4 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 (333Mhz)
HDD: 320 GB Maxtor
PSU: 430 W

Maybe the RAM and the ASUS EN7950 needs to be changed to something faster?

Thanks for any advise.

PS: Just learned that maybe this P5B mobo can't run E6750... Only 1066 Mhz, and CPU go to 1333 Mhz...

HELP!!!

You might get compatibility if you flash the BIOS (very easy).

I'd change the RAM first (for 800mhz) and the video card after that, but be careful: Don't spend much money that you could save for a newer system.

Thank you, good advise.!

Yes, I thought so about card and RAM, maybe save for a new system then, thanks...
