Useful o/c'ing threads...

With your mobo and any PC3200 it is best to use 200/400FSB so you could actually start by dropping the multiplier from 11x166=1.8ghz to 9x166=1.5ghz (confirm it is 9x) and then confirm the RAM is set synced to FSB (1:1, 3:3 etc) to up the FSB to 200mhz (400FSB inc DDR) so you'll have 9x200=1.8ghz. Then you can simply up the multiplier 1 step (9x to 9.5x) at a time to find what the CPU is capable of. Just to reiterate test thoroughly at each setting, loading Windows desktop does NOT constitute stable. When you find the fastest you can run either back off a little (0.5x?) or see if a little more voltage can help you go higher.
In gaming terms the gfx card is the most vital part so rem to get a decent one and don't forget to try o/c'ing that too!
