Hi, I've never overclocked a system before, but I've been researching it for a while. Here's what iv'e come up with:

1. Make sure the RAM ratio is set to 1:1
2. Start increasing the FSB by about .05 mHz at a time
3. When the computer can no longer boot, it will reset the BIOS by itself
4. Reclock the FSB back to the highest spot where it was stable.
5. If you want to go further, up the voltage by about .025, and start over.
6. To check stability, run Prime 95; Torture Test.

If i follow these steps closely, shall I be pretty good to go?

Also, i have 2 gb ddr2 800. With a ratio of 1:1, if i overclock, won't i overclock the ram too fast for the motherboard to handle? Im using a gigabyte ds4.
