you should be able to just crank the fsb freq to say 333 and test in windows if all is good try 400. i have found 400mhz fsb (it will make your ram run at 800ddr) should be good. just make sure when you oc that your ram speed is close to spec as possible, that is 800ddr (400mhz) and you should be good. you should not need to increase the cpu volts, tho you will need to set your ram to 2.0 or 2.1 to get stable, i would use 2.1volts total on the ram, check the oc section for hows tos
