I'm not much of an overclocker and I'm curious how far my cpu will go. Here are my specs:
Asus P4PE (with all the goodies)
Intel 2.4B Ghz (Stock cooling)
Kingston PC2700 DDR
ATI Radeon 9700Pro
SB Audigy
Antec 430Watt P/S

I just need help with the BIOS settings and the voltage. I know how to change my FSB (set to 133 right now) but I don't really know much about the AGP/PCI ratio settings or how much voltage I should give them. How should I have them set up?

I was able to leave the AGP/PCI ratio and the voltage to their stock settings (2.4B @ 2.7 - 150MHz FSB). The only downside to your components would be your RAM, you may not be able to reach 400MHz with only pc2700, that's why I picked up some OCZ pc3200; my SiSoft Sandra Memory Benchmark scores went from the mid 2400s to over 3000 with the addition of pc3200 RAM.

- Try to increase a Vcore, but not more than 1.7V if possible
- Try to increase your RAM freq
- Try to play around with your CPU:RAM ratio (if any)
- Try to increase your RAM voltage
- Try to set AGP/PCI a fix value (instead of Auto)
- Try not to increase PCI freq beyond 136MHz

- Every time you over-clock with a setting, try to see if it can boot.
If yes, see if it can load up your OS
If yes, try to run Prime95 for 24hours Stress Test to see if you fail

- If pass these, try a slightly higher clock speed and repeat till it can't go further in a stable manner.

- !!!!! Beware to monitor the CPU/mobo TEMPERATURE !!!!!
