What motherboard and what overclocking options does the BIOS have ? ACER's like most OEM PC's are not designed for O/C, most serious O/Cer's build a PC with a quality MoBo!!

You have an Acer? I doubt the BIOS options leave much room for overclocking.
If you can, raise the CPU freq to 250MHz, lower the HT multi to 4x, set the RAM speed to 266MHz (DDR533), lock the PCI-E at 100MHz, disable all Spread Spectrum settings, disable Cool 'n Quiet, raise the CPU voltage slightly (if neccessary).
That will put the CPU at 2.875GHz & the RAM at approx 667MHz again...IF you can do it.
