Where to Overclock from Here?

Well I got me a new setup and I've haven't overclocked since the days of Pentium 75(mhz)'s. So I have an Asus Maximus II motherboard and got two sticks of Crucial 2GB PC2-6400. I also have a Core2Extreme QX6850 CPU.

So I raised the FSB to 400mhz and that's fine. I then changed the memory settings and voltage to the nice timings Crucial says in the EPP profile (400mhz @4-4-4-12-2T @ 2V). Stupid board doesn't read the EPP profiles for whatever reason and it also will not do 1T.

That's where I am at now. I read some of the stuff here at the {H}, but a lot of the memory stuff is a little overwhelming to me. I always thought you wanted 1:1 FSB to DRAM ratio?

I haven't raised any other voltages besides the ram and everything is nice and stable. So where do I go from here? Should I try FSB of 500 and put the RAM at 500mhz @5-5-5-15-2T as is in the EPP ram profile? I wanna push this sucker:D
