My new system is up and running.(at last)

I'm seeking some overclock advice and possible a basic setup to get started.

The system took awhile to build. One stick of Ram was bad and my monitor had issues that required sending it back for depot repair. It took several days to isolate the bad memory problem, because the problem was such that the system would not post or go into bios.

I'm not thinking rocket science. I'm thinking about using the tools I have in this new system that are designed for overclocking, but I'd like to maintain that ability without stretching the limits to damage of the system.

This kinda request is probably answered better on some overclocking forums, but most of them don't appear to have things mapped out for users. It's kind of a read 100 postings and take it on the chin if you screw up.

Currently, I'm using WINXP Pro SP 3 32 bit version

I do have Vista Ultimate (not installed) - thinking of a dual boot at this time.
