Is the cooling the only thing i need before i deside to play with the BIOs? (can u please help me find a cooling device that is cheap but reliable? i can't tell which from which.)(is the walter cooling the best way to go?)

please tell me if i am right. thanks.
So if i play with the BIOS like increse it thus increse the front side bus thus increse my CPU.
what about the RAMS? Do i need to increse the RAMs if i increse the BIOs?

Experience.

Something like CPUz will tell ya (http://www.cpuid.com)

How do I get into My BIOS?

When you power up your computer it'll tell you to push a button. Probably DEL but sometimes F1 or F2 or on some crazy boards, F11 or F12

Yes yes testing would be the way but more specifically, non-stupid-500Mhz-at-a-time-testing

My computer is Sony.

Odds are you'll have a crippled BIOS that doesnt let you mess around much.

- Watercooling is seriously overrated and often overreccomended
- A nice solid fan will do you fine especially since you wont be able to OC by seriously appreeciable amounts
- Something like the Thermaltake Polo735 will do you plenty fine ($30USD)

Odds are when you get to BIOS ull find that theres not much to play with cuz Sony probably crippled it so i dont think you'll have to worry much about RAM or anything.
