Ok, I ran the performance wizard in Sisoftware Sandra, and it gave me these problems:

"Warning W2541 - FSB exceeds chipset rated FSB. If you’re over clocking the system just be aware that it may not be as stable as you may think.
Fix: Reduce the FSB in the BIOS settings/jumpers to the rated FSB."

My jumpers in BIOS are set right for my 800fsb processor... the jumpers are in the right place, even the BIOS says 200mhz, so I know its right.(200mhz x 4 = 800fsb, right?)

"Warning W2542 - Memory bus speed exceeds chipset rated memory bus speed. . If you’re over clocking the system just be aware that it may not be as stable as you may think. Also you may be over clocking the memory modules themselves.
Fix: Reduce the FSB or reduce the FSB/Memory multiplier."

I need help with that one.

"Warning W2520 - The PCI bus speed is too high. The PCI bus speed should not be increased over 36MHz. While most PCI cards may work, some hard drives, CD-ROMs, network cards and other cards may not and you could get data corruption without knowing.
Fix: Make sure the FSB is not higher than 68MHz. While 75, 83 or 90MHz give you higher performance the data loss may not be worth it. If the chipset supports asynchronous PCI, enable this option to keep the speed at 33MHz, independent of FSB."

I need help with all the above, actually. How do I fix each one? The answers they give and their FAQs dont actually tell you how, they just tell you what to do...

How do I fix these?

It would help if you listed the motherboard make/model number.
