i have 2.1ghz dual core right now.. 3gb of RAM if that matters...
i want it to be pretty safe.. how high up do you think i can go
 
Depends on the dual-core. Also depends on air flow and the stock cooler/custom cooler your using. In theory you can get .2mhz to .3mhz without any fear.

Also cheaper systems wont overclock as well as the medium-high systems since they use cheaper parts and what have you. A lot goes into mind when overclocking.


Some chips such as my Q6600 most can get 3.0ghz (stock is 2.4ghz) without any effort.

first of all give us you complete config.

mobo
CPU
RAM
PSU
(marks + exact names of the products if it's possible)
 
Also keep in mind, that if you're running a pre-built machine, companies like dell and HP have a tendency to lock the BIOS of their mobo's, rendering OC'ing impossible.
