OC hints?

Hi.

I'd love to get some hints and tips on how to get the most out of my system. I've tested a bit but in all honesty I know to little on how to tweak it in the best way.

You can all see on my profile what hardware I have so I don't need to repeat it here. I've tried running AMD Overdrive but I really can't see that it does much more than I already have managed myself in BIOS so I don't think it will help me much.

I've managed to OC from 200 to 220 Mhz and that's it. Haven't touched ram timings yet and I haven't tried much with cpu voltage but I want to learn how to get the most out of everything. My 3870X2 is OC'd to max so I don't need any help with that.

Since the mems are 1066 5-5-5-15 I suppose I should easily be able to run them at 4-4-4-12 since I only have them on 800Mhz.

I'm getting a Phenom as soon as they release some faster ones and then I can use the full potential of the mems.

There's so many different settings in BIOS and I don't know for sure how to set them to get the best results.

Maybe the 64 X2 5200 just isn't capable of more than I already have it on?
