OCing cheap RAM

shadow of a soul

Hello.
The thought occurred to try and OC my CPU a bit (C2D E6750), but the problem is, my motherboard (MSI P31 Neo-V2) doesn't allow me to raise the multiplier, only possible way is to clock the FSB, and that clocks the RAM too.
I've got a set of low-cost and low-performance RAM modules:
One of them is Kingmax KLDD48F-B8KB5 1GB DDR2-800 5-5-5-18
And the other two is Kingston, one of them is 1GB DDR2-800 6-6-6-18, and the other one - 1GB DDR2-667 5-5-5-15, so 3GB of RAM in total.
Don't know the model numbers on the Kingstons, just that they're cheap. :D

So my question is, is it safe to OC these? I reckon I could try to push it to 800, since two of them is 800 on stock, but the 667 is slowing them down, but I kinda don't want to burn the 667, as I'm not sure how much it can take. And if i'd try to go above 800?
