Is This Fine For OCing?

MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131757

CPU: Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz Processor (Purchased)

CPU Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106150

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148418

I'm sure the MoBo is set for OCing (Asus has always been good at that). The CPU will need to be OCed with the FSB, as well as voltage. As for the RAM, I'm not completely sure. I've been told Crucial Ballistix is great for OCing. So, is this fine for OCing? By the way, I will be using Ubuntu, so I was wondering if I can OC on that OS.

Overclocking is hardware based, not software based if you are using the BIOS like you are "supposed to".

The OS will not make any difference.
