Just wondering after reaching a stable overclcok with my Core2 is it okay to renable CE1 and Speedstep in the BIOS???

It's okay to try but there's a chance that it can lead to instability. After one has adjusted the CPU core voltage Speedstep won't be able to lower that on low load either. Give it a try but it may take a while to judge if it's really stable, as the problem if there is one doesn't manifest on high load but at times when core clocks are altered due to power saving adjusting the CPU multiplier on the fly.

tried it..... not worth it.

when speedstep is enabled, the system gets laggy compared to when its off and the system is always in full power.

I always leave both disabled as a rule as well.
