Is overclocking as simple as increasing the speed of the FSB and keeping the operating temp down to an acceptable level. What about the core voltage?

i've built a system with the P5K series and its a good solid board and is highly rated, the one i used took some fiddling to set up as it came with alot of useless firmware, but the bios are quite good as it'll let you tweak everything.

yes its pretty easy, leave the voltages on auto (or set them to 1.3 or less) as you don't need to touch them, the q6600 will clock to 3ghz with no fuss at all, its when you start pushing further voltage tweaks are needed. that cpu runs really cool anyway and with the heatsink you listed it'll be fine.
