Nice setup, what's for cooling?

what case do you have?

cpu might bottleneck if not overclocked, but you're certain to find somebody who will get you on your way

Should be easy enough.

Try the following settings:

425FSB 9 mutliplier
1.45V vCore
1.4 VTT (FSB voltage)
1.45Volts Northbridge
1.6Volts Southbridge

Should be fine at those levels. Once stability is confirmed in Windows, try and reduce the VTT/FSB to 1.3V and vCore closer to 1.4V if possible (although these Q6700's do often need fairly high voltage)

That should give you 3.825GHz, very nice and fast. Watch ya temps though.
