I just finished a 9 hour torture test with no errors or warnings. I overclocked my newcastle 3000+ to 2200. I simply raised the FSB to 220, Multi was set at 10. I'm using Mushkin pc3200 512mb so the ram is now running at 440. This is on the stock cooling system and stock voltage. I'm very impressed. Anyone have any thoughts to kick this badboy up a few mhz, or should I pick up an aftermark HSF first?

Well if the temps stay below 60C under load, I'd bump up the voltage a little, and try for 250FSB. Set your memory divider to 5:4 so the memory runs at 200MHz because I'm not sure it'll hit 250MHz (unless you have BH-5/6).
