Best way to overclock my memory?

Within a few days will be assembling a new computer. Contains the following: P4 2.53Ghz/533 (dont know what stepping yet) Supermicro P4SGR Dual SCSI 845GE (MB has capability of CPU Clock Ratio adj, as well as CPU Clock, and CPU voltage. Of other notice is the DDR timing ect, no voltage adj) XMS 3000 Corsair DDR 333Mhz (100% tested to run at 185Mhz) With this sytem running default values, the bottleneck exists with my memory. Running at the 185Mhz would give me close to 3Ghz a sec bandwith a little closer to the rated 4.2Ghz with the 533Mhz FSB. Dont know how much statbility would exist with FSB running at 185Mhz and no AGP/PCI lock or voltage adj for DDR. Recall reading that SCSI is very particular about running within the specs. Really would be sweet to run memory at CPU speed but know cant happen with current onboard controls. Would appreciate any sugestions upon subject

It really comes down to what your memory and motherboard can support. Also, because you're upping the FSB/PCI/AGP, it depends on what dividers are and what your components can handle.
