Your have a good board & PSU for overclocking. You will prob have to set the ram to run at 80% of the FSB as your ram is 333Mhz (166Mhz FSB) rated.
Would recomend setting your FSB to 200Mhz , setting your ram to 80% of FSB (and up the Vdimm one notch, and tighten the timings - if you want to post your existing ones should be able to suggest ones) , lower your multiplier to 10.5 (2100Mhz).
Thats a good place to start. Then try upping your Multiplier & Vcore to get higher speeds. Common view is not to push your Vcore to over 1.8V, unless you have very good cooling or are willing to take a risk
.
You wont have to worry about any PCI or AGP locks, which is a good thing. When you thing your system is stable run Prime95 and that will confirm it for you (or most of the time itl tell you your not stable) either higher your Vcore or back off the overclock a little.
Its just a matter of playing around with FSB * Multiplier. Reason i said 200Mhz is it will run your ram @160Mhz. If you use 166Mhz FSB then you will run outa multipliers (max 12.5 AFAIK on that board unless u unlock the higher level ones).
Another option would be to go to 170-180 FSB and see if your ram can handle it.
