First overclock - Any words of wisdom?

[DAnDan]

Hello all, I've just ordered my final setup, for delivery tuesday. I have;

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500,
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L,
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low,
Coolermaster Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler
+ The relevant disks, PSU and whatnot.

Basically, I've read the guides at the top, and read around what extra I can, but does anyone have anything they can share that might help me? Any experience with what tends to work (or not) with this setup?

Thanks all!

(P.s - Somewhat excited for this one! )

I hear excellent things about that board when it comes to overclocking. When overclocking the CPU just make sure not to exceed 1.5V .

Get it all running a standard speeds first, then nudge it up a bit at a time remembering to keep an eye on the voltages and RAM speed/timings.
