My first O/C and I'm not sure if I got everything ok. I ran Prime95 and it was stable (I couldn't force it to start a torture test tho 
- I simply can't click that option)
Anyways, my memory's stock timings are 2-5-2-2-1T, and at one point I noticed in BIOS that they got shifted in a wrong kind of way (ie the last timing was 2T), so I moved them to the maximum (?) suggested by the manufacturer (that's 3-8-4-4-1T @ 533 MHz) to see what happens. This in turn changed my CPU's clock (to 266 MHz x 6 if I'm not mistaken). That's where I started playing around. First I brought the multiplier back to x10 (I've set Voltage to AUTO, as I'm not sure what the safe values are), but then memory settings got blocked in automatic position. Turning them back to manual would force the CPU settings to go to AUTO (not sure why).
At one point I did manage to get both on manual and left the 250x10 and 3-8-4-4-1T @ 533MHz settings. This however caused Prime95 to detect a problem very early on. I decided to put my memory back to stock settings but it crashed. Now it's pretty much on automatic (and Prime95 stable), but I'm curious if I can get anything more than 166.7 MHz.
