I am trying to get my system up from 2.43 to around 2.7. I am looking for the best way to accomplish this, and to makle my system stable. Can anyone help me out?

I myself cannot get my Venice to higher than 2.61Ghz. FSB is at 290Mhz. (290*9.0)
I am not sure whether it is the motherboard or it's the CPU

Voltage of chipset is up by 0.1V, CPU is at 1.55V

What's your RAM? Your RAM obviously wouldn't achieve more than 290 FSB with 1:1 ratio, set it to 6:5 or even lower to keep its frequency down

At 290FSB, at 6:5 ratio, memory frequency is at 241Mhz
at 4:3, Memory frequency is at 217Mhz

Make sure your RAM can run at such frequencies and adjust ratio and timing accordingly

Follow the Overclocking guide sticky thread in this forum
It would give you the best overclocking result if you follow it.

What memory do you have? What is your power supply model? What is your CPU stepping?

Depending on your RAM and CPu stepping, try this (my settings for 2.7GHz on a A64 3000+ Venice E6, though I don't run mine that high for normal use): 1.7V on the CPU voltage, 1.7V on the chipset voltage, 2.8V on the RAM (I have Corsair ValueSelect at stock timings, 1T command rate), drop the memory speed down to DDR266 (133MHz) and set the HTT frequency to 3X. You can stay at DDR333 if you have anything better than ValueRAM. Just up the voltage to like 2.9V or 3.0V if you have good air circulation to maintain the higher DDR setting.

Note that these settings are what I use to get my 3000+ Venice with E6 stepping to 2.7GHz. I have not run Prime95 to test for absolute stability, but it runs full load at 55C on stock cooling. I don't like pouring 1.7V into my CPU, so I'm at 2.5GHz right now, which I'm perfectly fine with considering the voltages can stay at stock voltages for the RAM and chipset (only a .5V increase on the CPU is needed), I can keep 4X for my HTT frequency, DDR333 for my RAM speed at stock timings and 1T command rate, and my temperatues are only 43C full load on the stock HSF. I have a Cooler Master Praetorian case with four 80mm fans and a PSU with two fans, though, so my ventilation is pretty good.

Let us know how you do!

Yup.
