Also wana oc my cpu here is my setup:

Opty 144 28oC Idle Temp
2x 512mb pc3200OCZ GOLD DUAL CHANNEL

Just need help on what to do with ram!!

Right when you overclock you raise the FSB,

Now.

The FSB and the RAM Are linked together, so when you raise the FSB The ram speed goes up.

I would personally get something like a G Skill 2GB Kit

G.Skill 2GB DDR HS PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2.5 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200USU2-2GBHS) (MY-009-GS)

Well i will be updateing in about2 months to intel but can u help me oc the system as it is now please.

Whats your current ram ?

You can run it on a divider.

You need to lower its speed, then you can raise the FSB So the ram runs within its Specification.

As with all these things, WE can't help you overclock. Without system specs

Start raising your FSB in 5 Mhz increments,

then stress test , keep going until it fails.

Then either raise the voltage A BIT. Or Lower your FSB
