Upgrading is pretty much only through root, so I'll move this to the root section for you where all of the nice folks can advise you. (Steven glares at all the nice folks) :p

Here you go... This article is a good place to start.

Edit: Jesus Christ. I messed that all up. Sorry, it's 4/20. Anyway, Here is a good place to start... http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/316258-official-gb-leak-2-thread-anyone-get-ota-4-5-588-possibly-gingerbread-ota.html

Basically, sbf back to stock, root that, get the GB zip, rename it update.zip, put it in root of sdcard, shutdown phone, boot into recovery, select install update.zip.
 
Read, Read, and read some more. When you think you have read everything there is, find some more to read. When your ready go check out Ro0oLeRs guide.

Ok first you need to be rooted, then install d2 bootstrap, then install the 3 part zip to give you rooted gb ...have you ever rooted, installed any roms etc? I ask so we know how to further instruct you, and the only way to get the official ota after you install leak gb is to sbf back to. 340
 
thanks for all the help i have never rooted or anything ive always been stock. but tired of waiting for the ota to come out now lol
 
Just sit down in a comfy chair and d/l all the stuff you need to do this, then go to one of the pages with the step by step and follow it to the letter. it works pretty much every time, enjoy!
Since you aren't modded already, it should be easy breezy, since you won't have to SBF or undo anything to get where you already are.
