ok guys, here's an update to how my rig here is going:
I have gotten my system stable at 2640 MHz, by using a 165 fsb, with memory settings at 2.5,2,3,5 for 440 DDR
linked below are my wcpuid and sandra screenshots:
WCPUID - 2640 MHz
Sandra Memory - 3405/3404
Now, this is all great, except for one thing which is not letting me finalize this system. I have a Geforce3 Ti200 video card installed in the system, and before I install the Detonator drivers for it, the machine works great, except given for the fact that I am running 800x600 in 16 colors. When I proceed to install the nvidia drivers and then reboot, I cannot get past the Windows 2000 splash screen. The machine will just hang right there. At best, I can get into the desktop, and two seconds later, the screen will freeze with slight image corruption. When the system is set to 100 fsb, for a 1600 MHz stock speed, the Geforce3 works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Is it the nvidia drivers or the Window 2000 drivers? Maye an IRQ problem? I tried changing some, but it hasnt worked for me yet.
I would appreciate any other tips and ideas.... thanks!

its the Windows 2000 drivers for your video card. I was also having the same problems like you with Windows XP. It used to freeze and do weird things when i was overclocking. I downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia webiste and from then on, i havnt had a single problem with it. It were the the original drivers supplied by Windows for GF3 that were causing the problems. Make sure that in properties, the driver shows up as Nvidia drivers and not Windows drivers.
hope that solves your problem.
