Need settings to overclock my Athlon 3000 with Asus A8V???

Just got done building my new computer and installing everything and its seems to be stable. I have an Athlon 64 3000 winchester with Asus A8V mobo. I would like to do some overlclocking but don't know what settings to start with. Can anyone tell me what settings to change and which speed to start out with. Thanks!
 
Well I decided to tinker a little and this is what I've done so far:

Changed the memory setting to DDR333 (5:3)
Bumbed the FSB to 205MHz

I'm running fine at 1844mhz. What about RAM timings? I know nothing about them but have heard about them. At what point would I need to increase the CPU voltage?
 
My specs are in my profile, and the only thing i really did besides change the FSB is make HHT multiplier 4x and raise the v-core to 1.475 volts. Stock cooling and such. you shouldn't have to worry about the HHT multi, or v core if you are only taking up a small amount. Just keeping stepping it up at levels you feel comfortable. I was a little warry of OC'ing but the 3000+ can handle a lot so go for it 🙂

What is the HHT multiplier and how is it changed? I have Corsair Value RAM so I probably won't be able to do extreme overclocking but was wondering if I should change RAM settings? Its all on Auto right now but I know nothing about "2-3-3-6-T1"
