n00b to overclock

[PSUPef2k]

A8R32-MVP
Opteron 170
G.SKILL 2x1GB extreme DDR 500

Now...from reading these forums for sometime now, I know I will need Prime95 to test stability and memtest to test the memory.

Now, what other tools will I need to benchmark my system once I get it OCed and stable?

3Dmark05 & 06? Anything else?

Thanks in advance, and if anyone has advice on how to go about this OC, ANY and ALL suggestions, links, etc are welcome.

Yeah, it's a good place to start and makes it easy to pick up on the terminology and basics of overclocking. Zebo's A64 Overclocking Guide in this forum is also another good resource.
