Overclocking a IS7/P4-2.4

[Slainte]

Amybody here up for giving me a few pointers on OCing this setup (mildly!).I just want to get started and have read just enough to push me into a coma
A good link would also help.

Slainte...

Abit IS7, BIOS ~22,P4HT-2.4 Crucial Radeon 9600XT;ATI=9600XT(RV360),DDR 1024mb,Maxtor Ultra-ATA/133 80gb (boot); WDC 4gb IDE,Sonata Case 350W

Northwood A (400 bus) B (533 bus) or C (800 bus)?

If I assume it's an 800 bus Northwood (200MHz clock) and you have DDR400 (200MHz clock) you'll want to underclock your RAM to DDR333/DDR320 (160MHz actual clock) first, then raise the CPU to 250MHz bus (which also raises the RAM back up to DDR400 speed).

You'd most likely reach that bus speed between 1.60v and 1.65v.
