Also, go in slow increments, and run that for a while to see if it's stable. Increase FSB speeds by 5 or 10 at a time, and back down a few notches when you've reached the threshold.

This will cause unneccesary stress on components as linderman hinted to, often shortening their service life and you will also see a rise in temperature. Prescotts are known to be little furnaces, so be sure you have an adequate cooling solution.

I OC'd my board, and found my bottleneck to be my memory, it's not stable past 875 mzh.
