Some help required.

I have succesfully overclocked to 3GHz but cannot go any further. I would like to get to 3.2 GHz but all my attempts have failed. System becomes unstable at anything over 3GHz, tried increasing voltages but not sure hi high I can go or would want to go. Can someone help me out?

Current Bios info

CPU frequency [333], Dram [DDR2 - 1000MHz], Performance = Auto, PCI Express = Auto, PCI Clock = Auto, Memory Voltage = 2.10V, CPU Core = Auto, FSB Termination = Auto, MCH = Auto, ICH = Auto, Modify ratio = Disabled, Microcode = Enabled, Max CPU Disabled, Enhanced C1 = Disabled, Virtulisation = Disabled, Speedstep = Disabled.
I'm sure Vista will make the most of 8GB of memory I turned my pagefile off with 4GB and it started complaining about running low on memory when playing some games....8GB here I come.

Unfortunately 333 X 9 seems to be the limit for most Quads. I've seen a couple of people reach 3.2Ghz on the P5W but there just the lucky ones

I can hit 3.2 Ghz 356 X 9 @ 1.4V but it's nowhere near stable.
