I'm pretty new to OC'ing. I'm looking to OC my computer but nothing drastic. Here is my computer:

P4 1.8a
ASUS P4T-E (Intel 850 Chipset)
PC800 RDRAM Kingston Value Ram
PNY GF4 4600
Enermax 350W PSU
Windows XP Prof

I went into the bios and turned off the Turbo feature for the ram. I then bumped up the FSB from 100 to 115 MHz. If I notch it up any higher like 118 MHz it won?t start. It won't do anything other than make a long single beep. I don?t see a feature to lock the pci bus. I'm wondering if since I can't lock the PCI bus, maybe my video card is freaking out? Right now my 1.8a is running at 2070 MHz just fine. I can run prime95 without any errors and the cpu temp stays at 41C and system temp at 32C. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to OC it further? Also if I'm doing any damage to the other parts of my system like my video card? Thanks for your time.

Take it straight up to 133 fsb, that way your agp, pci devices will stay in spec. It should work with no problem as long as your ram holds up. If not then put the ram settings to 3X instead of 4X. The P4T-E works better in jumper mode. Do you know if you have CYP or the DRCG 9213 good Rdram clock generators on your mobo?
