Noob overclocking - pls help - stuck!

Hey all

In the process of overclocking my e6600. Going nicely and have hit 2.7ghz. However, seeing as I'm a beginner, I'm not sure whether I'm pursuing the right avenue - I don't want to damage anything! So anyways, I was wondering if you could take a look at these stats and recommend a course of action. This is taken from CPU-Z:

CPU:
Voltage = 1.3v
Core speed = 2.703.6 Mhz
Bus Speed = 300 FSB

Memory:
Frequency = 375.5Mhz
FSB:DRAM = 4:5
Timings = 4-4-4-12-20

Specs as in sig. Thanks for the help.

Thanks.

Set the vcore voltage to atleast 1.45v (1.5v if you've got good cooling).
Raise the Northbridge (MCH) voltage a notch.
Set the bus speed to 388.
Set the RAM multiplier to 1:1 for the time being.
Keep the timings as they are for the time being.

That should get you 3.5Ghz easily. You can then lower the vcore voltage to see how low it will go before becoming unstable.
