How easy/safe is it to push a i5 750 to about

Pretty much just spend a little extra on RAM, maybe $90-100 per 4GB, then up the multiplier. There's a I5 overclocking thread below, almost everyone can get 3.4-3.6 on stock voltage with good temps. You can get 3.8-4 pretty easily with minor voltage increases.
 
I wouldn't spend extra on ram for a 3ghz overclock. DDR3-1333 would be rated up to a 222bclock at a 6x multiplier.
222x20=4440mhz

Im not sure exactly how p55 mobos work with multipliers, but I know with most x58s you can lock the turbo frequency for a possible:
222x21=4662mhz
222x24=5328mhz

So IF you can lock a 24 multiplier on your mobo, your ram is rated to run ur processor up to 5.3ghz.
 
Well, I know my P55 motherboard doesn't have a memory divider, so that's why I say get some decent ram that can run at 1600 or so.

WTF?
I've never heard of a motherboard not having a memory divider.
My computer from 2002/2003 that I'm still using now does...

Are you using a crappy ECS motherboard?
