help for a noob!

[matt6r]

I'm new to this , so please forgive my ignorance. I have just built up the following;
Asus P5Q-E
Q6600 G0 stepping
4gb patriot viper extreme 800/6400 4-4-4-12

When I go into the bios and adjust the RAM timings to "manual", and input 4-4-4-12 it won't boot? It sets it to 5-5-5-12 in auto and works?
When I look and the fsb in cpu-z, it says it's at 266x7, do I need to set this to 333x7 or 333x9 to achieve a 3.0 overclock?
What do I need to change to "manual" in the bios?
Do I need to input any voltage changes, eg. change cpu from auto to 1.12v?

Any help and advice, in a form an idiot like me would understand, will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt.

Memory done, cheers. Set cas to 4-4-4-12 and ram votage to 2.1

When I set fsb to 333 and multipier to 9 it wont run vista, even when I set the cpu voltage to 1.125?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Matt.

Still no joy, I've tried upping the voltage on the cpu untill I hit 1.35v, and still won't boot.
Tried setting multiplier to auto - no good.
Speedstep was already showing disabled, not sure what c1e is?
I even left everything standard, and just set fsb to 300, won't boot!
I have the memory set at 2.02v 4-4-4-12 auto frequency.
A DOS page flashes up before it boots into windows now!?
Help!

Will increasing the voltage on the RAM help?
Will RAM timing affect it - It sets itself to 5-5-5-12, but the spec states 4-4-4-12 ?
I've been told to leave the multipier on auto?
I've also been told to set the CPU PLL Voltage: 1.54 and FSB Termination Voltage: 1.24 as it overvolts when left on auto?
OMG! IT'S TOO COMPLICATED
