Need overclocking advice

Hi, I've added an slk800/delta combo and several fans to my XP2400 based system. My machine now runs stable with a fsb of 147mhz (now rated XP2700). However in order to this I had to up the core voltage to 1.9v and up the ram voltage by 0.1v.
My machine is fine and cpu temperatures are contained within the 40's. I have two questions:

(1) I've heard people advising against going as high as 1.9v. Should I worry about this given that my CPU is running at a healthy temperature?
(2) I tried to up to 148mhz FSB but instability was introduced - i'm guessing increasing the ram and not cpu voltage may help. How safe is it to increase the ram voltage further?

p.s my motherboard is Gigabyte GA7VA and my ram is 2700 (running at 333mhz clock).

Any help appreciated,

Thanks and all the best,

Nathan

that is quite high a vcore, never had my core up that high, mem-wise I have run my memory @ 2.8 quite happily

Hmmm, wonder if I can get a valid page fault ???
these invalid ones are far too commonplace...
