I'd like to run some benchies with my system to find out which OC combination works better.. something like an overall benchmark would be great which checks the CPU+mem combination.. where I can find them?

Go over to majorgeeks.com They have lots of free benchies. Or just google, there are plenty of sites with free benchies.

The 3DMarks work well.

I like SuperPI since it's quick & easy to run.

Everest is good for memory testing.

Those are a few i use.

thaks.. i'd try the 3dMarks'.. I hope they don't have disk tests.. don't want my tests to be influenced by my drive.. it's no raptor or raid 0.. i'd rather just get specs for my CPU/mem combo

My new system got owned in 3dmark06 for one reason...my temporary video card.

I only got 1300...with the SM2 score being 700 and something, but my CPU score was like, 2050 or something. Go Core 2 Duo.

My E6400 running 3.2 gets 6480 in the CPU test. I think your C2D even a stock E6300 should get more than 2050.

Yeah 3dmark is a good test...no HDD testing. My HDD is a first generation 7200RPM Seagate SATA so it's very slow by today's standard, but it works 100% so i figure why change it.
