hello,

First of all i am quite new to overclocking and must say how great both reviews ( guide to temperature and quide to overclocking) were. They helped me to take the first steps, without them all i would have keep seeing were blue screens or more probable nothing at all.

Yet after these first efforts i remain with some huge questions.

system: ga-p35-ds4 rev 2.0, e2180 ( stock cooler ), ati radeon x1900 GT all in wonder,
ddr2 800 team value, seagate 250G 7200 16Mb, intake fan, powerS 450W Trust 12cm fan.
(e2180 stepping D revision M0)
I have studied both guides and successfully overclocked to 2.6Ghz stable.

I would like to know if i should manually reduce my Vcore because now it is put on 1.40.. (auto setting in bios)
Would that be the reason my temp are between 60-65 ( both measured by core temp and speedfan)

My second and more important question is what to do with my memory ddr2 800?
In the guides you try to put them 1:1 that i understand but gigabyte bios has quite other settings
for my spd i have to choose 2 or 2.40 or 3.20 or 3.00 or 4.00+ or 4.00~ on the side it says + = 800 strapping and ~= 1066 strapping and one more with 1333 strapping.
So i stay quite in the dark what would be optimal settings for my memory.
I can overclock 260 x 10 but than i have to choose what for my memory? or 333 x 8 but than what? If i choose 2.00 for exemple than the line below in my bios says Mhz 800 677. If i choose 3.00 it says Mhz 800 999 which appears faster than my memory 800 ( is this dangerous? )

And then i have the problems with my timings. My timings table of ram says 400 Mhz 5 5 5 16 for 266 4 4 4 11 for 200 3 3 3 8 this is what i see in cpuz. what does this mean? Can i go 400 Mhz at 4 4 4 12 or is this impossible ( Ram is Team Value)
Or do i better overclock with 266 x 10 and choose 4 4 4 11.

anyway i would like to run 3.200 so 320 x 10 would that be possible if on 2666 i have 60-65 temp but with Vcore 1.4 on 333 x 8 i have also 60-65temp and Vcore 1.4.
Would my temps go up because it seems like for 3.2Gh i don't have to put higher voltage nor will my bus go higher than 333 so temp should stay relatively the same ( or not )

Any help would be most appreciated because i would not like my first overclock to end with a certain not so great smell.

Thanks
