Getting the best Overclock from my System

[JaseUK]

Hi Guys,
I am in need of a bit of advice, I am trying to get the best overclock from my system. I am relatively new to this overclocking lark but think I have got the hang of it fairly well.
Anyroad I have oc'd my AMD 3700+ Sandy to 2.4GHz (220 x 11), I cant seem to get it any further stable, my 2GB Crucial PC3200 (DDR400) timings are 3-3-3-8 1T @ 220MHz clock frequency, (1:1).
When I attempt to push both the CPU and RAM any further it fails using Prime95, current settings are fine though.
I was hoping to clock the CPU to atleast 2.6GHz.
Is the problem with my memory, my settings, my PSU, or me (steady )
My sig shows my rig!!!!!!!!!!

Thank's trojan698,
So what is best a higher clock frequency or lower tighter timings. I know that if I lower to 166MHz with the current FSB/HTT of 220 I will be getting a clock frequency of about 182MHz. If I up the FSB/HTT then this will raise my memory frequency, this I have done but am unable to get it just right where it becomes stable.
My best settings so far but which only lasted like 3 minutes on Prime95 were CPU 2530Mhz (230 x 11) vcore 1.35v, memory 230MHz 3-3-3-8.
Do I need to achieve lower tighter timings on my memory. Personally I feel my memory is holding me back, with me probably requiring a new PSU.

Thanks for all the advice guys, very much appreciated.

'k3v' are you using the CPU's stock voltage too.

best I get to work on my BIOS then
