My current overclock and settings are as follows:

2300 mhz (230HTT x 10)
Voltage: Stock (1.44)
Mem Freq: 191.7 (set on auto in bios)
HTT Multiplier: 5 (1000 default)

My memory settings are: 2.5-3-3-8-11-16

Memory is just Samsung value ram PC3200 (1gb), nothing fancy.

What options do I have in order to push the speed farther than 2.3ghz? I am not using stock cooling, I am using a Zalman CNPS-7700.

Currently my temps are: 31 C Idle, 41 C Load, MBD Temp is around 25-29 C

htt multiplier to 4x, 250htt kick mem freq to 166 or a 5:4 divider

that will bump you up to 2500 mhz and you shouldnt need mmore vcore

how much higher than 2500 could I go and what would i need to change in order to get there?

also, i noticed in the bios that for a memory divider, i only have the following options:

1:1
4:3 (DDR 266)
3:2
5:3 (DDR 333)
2:1 (DDR 400)

by lowering the htt mult to 4 and upping the ht to 250, my memory is running at 208 mhz

Just leave the memory on AUTO, and increase the HTT in small increments testing for stability with Prime95 for a few minutes at each step, when you get errors in prime bump the cpu volts 1 or 2 settings and retest. If it becomes stable you can try raising HTT some more. When you get to where prime errors even with increased volts or your CPU temps starts approching 60c under load, then youv'e found the top of your CPU.

Also play with different CPU muti's very often the best overclock can be acheived with a lower multi
I also have the 3200+ winchester and I can only get 10 x 246 = 2460 using the 10x multi. But with a 9x multi I can run 9 x 289 = 2601
