well ive upped my vcore voltages to yeild a higher FSB overclock but what do AGP and DDR voltages do? give a better overclock aswell?!

For DDR yea, for AGP I have no idea what benefits it can have for OC'ing

i think AGP voltage shares with NB controlling FSB for higher FSB overclocking.

Upping the AGP voltage increases the voltage to the AGP bus and can yield video stability. My Radeon 9600xt wouldn't run very stable when I oc'ed my P4 unless I increased my AGP voltage from 1.5v to 1.7v

When at default everything, then it was ok. But, I think, by increasing the other voltages, maybe I was robbing just enough power from the AGP to make things flaky. Increase it, re-introduce the stability.

I've never done it but if what is said above is right I'd say keep it @ stock voltage then when you actually hit a OC wall try upping the AGP voltage and see if that allows you to surpass that wall.

hmmmm well its going well upped the agp voltage to 1.7 and im running 3dmark to see if its stable. ill then see if i can surpass my overclock.
ps. what should i go to with my ddr voltage?

increase it of course

more voltage = more memory frequency available

EDIT: I would set it @ your memory's highest allowable voltage(by spec) first then increase it if you want and/or could push it some more.
