OK, ran memtest86, NO ERRORS, now what?

OK, I think im pretty happy. I ran memtest86 while I was gone, and it came up with no errors. What would be my next move to gain more performance. Here is where im at:
HTT=4X
FSB=205mhz
RAM IS @ 3-3-2-5 1T PC3200
PCIE LOCK IS @ 100MHZ
Im just wondering if dropping the HTT to 3x and bring up the FSB more would net some good results? Any info would be great. Thank you.
 
You should be able to run up to about 250 with HTT set at 4x

Set your HTT bus to about 220 and rerun Memtest... See if its stable up higher first... Move TRAS up to 8 or 9. A64's seem to like that better.
 
what next for stability testing? hammer on you system using loops of memtest test #5 for an hour or so. then go for safe mode, and try running prime 95 blended torture test for another hour or so. then go for normal mode, and try for about 8 hours of prime95 torture test.

however, 205 is not much of a FSB overclock. i would continue upping FSB and increasing voltage to the minimum degree necessary to get stable opperation in memtest, and proceed to the testing procedure that i just outlined after you have attained a substantial overclock.

if you legitimately max things out in memtest, up to the highest voltage that you are willing to use for memory, chipset and CPU, you will probably have to back off by 10 MHz FSB or so to make the jump from being memtest stable to being game and prime stable, however memtest will give you a pretty good ballpark estimate.

IMPORTANT: only use as much voltage as is necessary, don't max it out right from the start, or you will probably limit yourself. i highly reccomend a device called a bios saviour, for when things go wrong with your bios while overclocking. you are overclocking, so don't go crying to anyone if you accidently break something (we will try to help, but you should know the risks of what you are doing).
 
220 just like that?

i disagree strongly, and reccomend going up in something like 4 or 5 MHz incriments, until you hit your peak speed.
