Throw the stock cooler in the trash
I've had good results the Zalman's and Tuniq's on the Q6600
Use some good quality paste like Arctic Silver
An if you want to be perfect... LAP-IT!

Shouldn't Vista SP1 make all 4GB visible? |
Vista SP1 32 supports up to 4GB. It's showing mine in my computer properties. |

Really??? Didn't know that Vista 32bit supports up to 4GB. Good to know that! 
Anybody else can confirm? (Not that I don't believe you, lockhead...  )

yeah, i want to confirm that too.. want to head back to 32-bit for reason of compatibiliy.. 32-bit has wider range that 64-bit (though 64-bit is faster)

anyway, for the thread starter. before OC'ing, just make sure you have a decent cpu cooler. it's easier to point out where you went wrong in OC'ing.. when it freezes, your pretty sure it's not because your temps got way too high at initial booting..
