A few overclock questions

Due to a mishap with removing my old 3500+ newcastle core, (it came off with the heatsink and broke two pins)

I'm stuck going back down to 3000+(venice) i had sitting around. Luckily, this 3000+ has currently overclocked to 2.1ghz with no issues (well, at least no issues according to prime95 as of 8 hours or so), and it still runs incredibly cold compared to my previous processer (39c load compared to 42c idle)

I've heard that theres a defect with the Asus-A8n SLi deluxe involving the FSB not being able to get the memory speed above 245hrz or so?

I'm currently running my ram (OCz platinum revision 2) at 230hrz 2-3-3-7@1T, i'm sure i can tighten it up a little bit, but i'm checking for stability first.
HT at 4x, ram voltage at 2.7 and vcore at 1.5

I simply want to overclock my processer up to 2.2ghz stable or so, so i won't notice much difference considering the less powerful processer. What would be the best way to do this?

and what exactly is that bug?

(I know theres no way i can get it back up to 2.4ghz at 2-2-2-5@1T, so 2.2ghz is fine)

Actually, you probably have an old Winchester, and it should do 2.4 as a minimum. I know of no bug for that board, and many people use it and get great results.

I'm relatively certain it's a Venice, I got the 3000+ roughly around may of this year.

Still, 2.4? I guess i'll try setting the FSB to 245 and see if it remains stable there - anything else i should change to try and get up to around 2.4?

Any specific timings i should try out with? I know my ram is (was) an overclockers dream.
