Help with my first Overclock

[GFiSH]

I'm looking for some help with my first overclock. I've done searching for my processor and motherboard but can't find anything that I can understand. If anyone can offer some step by step guides and advice that would be good.

CPU: 3500 Venice
Mobo: Asus A8R32-MVP Deluse
Memory: TwinX2048C2PT PC3200

Will my memory be a hindering factor?

Hi

Just google A64 overclocking and you will find lots of general guides.
They should cover all aspects of the art including using memory dividers.

memory isnt a problem

i would second that dfi-street guide as a good guide to avoid any head-scratching moments, not that ive read most of the others

Right, I've just swapped by 3500 Venice for an Opty 146, think the stepping was CAB2E, can't remember exactly, it;s written down at home though.

I was told it;s best to leave it running at stock speeds for a few days first but at higher volts, so I've upped the voltage to 1.55v and it was running at 2GHz, last night I set it to 2.2GHz to get it on par with my Venice.

Whats the next step? If anyone is familiar with my mobo (Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe) and can give me some specific pointers that would be great.
