If all is going well your multiplier must be at 11X.
To start I'd set the switches to 11.5X. That should get you to
11.5X166=1909.
If it fails to boot ( or goes unstable )you have to remove the AC power from
the PowerSupply and reset the BIOS. Use a Jumper if you a Rev 2 Board.
If all goes well try 12X etc.

After that you can go onto Advanced Chipset Features. Here, set System
Performance to Manual and move the FSB up to 167 ( or what ever) and try
it.

If your almost where you want to be but still getting errors you can try
raising the memory and/or the CPU voltage.

I use EasyTune4 to monitor the progress.

Some CPU/memories over clock well and some do the specification and that's
it.
