The overclocking tragedy for an A64 is totally different than with previous AMD or current Intel platforms. You don't *have* to overclock the RAM...there is no FSB, so the RAM & CPU don't necessarily have to run in sync. If you can do it, great...if not, the performance hit isn't huge. Running tighter timings is more important.
With that board & CPU, you should be able to get the CPU frequency up to 250-300MHz. To be able to run in sync with the CPU, you'd need PC4000 (DDR500) or PC4800 (DDR600) & that would cost 2-3 times as much as Corsair PC3200.
