I have a p4 2.4 400fsb northwood, on a gig mobo, 1 gig 3200 ram, 6600gt agp 128 pny video, with no overclocking of anything. I want to get some extra power, i have an 480w psu, and plenty of cooling. I can get to it everything in my bios, but what is a good conservative overclock to do?

ive been messing with the cpu clock in the bios. I can get up to 118=2.83 any more and windows wont start. I try to do more and increase the voltage, doesnt seem to do much

Lock the PCI at 33MHz, the AGP at 66MHz. And there's no point running your RAM faster than the CPU. So even though you have PC3200, you should run it at 1:1 ratio

yeah most likely windows wont start because the overclocking you did also sped up the PCI and AGP bus(es) and that isn't good. look 'em at 33mhz and 66mhz as jam said and then see what you can do...
