Next step in my overclock

So I am overclocking my machine and I have managed to get a 225fsb and into windows . It however will not run prime 95, it errors out after a sec. It will however run super pi and 3Dmark ( as long as I don't alt tab out of it). It seems to be completely stable in windows though. I tried upping the vcore by .025 and it did nothing. My temps are 29c idle and 44c full load. So I don't think it is a heat issue. I ran memtest a week ago and found no errors, but I haven't un it yet overclocked, but the ram is underclocked now. So really I need some suggestions of what I might be missing, possibly some settings in bios. I haven't really come accross anything that talks about any other settings in bios should be at besides ram timings. Also after I upped the vcore I upped the vdimm. After that I tightened the timings to 3-3-7 and I have no 1t/2t setting. Tightening the timings didn' make any worse. So any suggestions would be appreciated
 
Oh yeah and I am using subtle tuning which locks the agp at 66mhz. At least I think it does, I think sandra can tell you the pci clock, but I can't remeber where. Are there any other programs that can tell me?
 
download clockgen, and increase the fsb, if the pci frequency doesnt increase, its locked. but, 225mhz is around where things go wrong when you dont have a pci lock.
 
I did that and I made it to about 235 stable, after that I got errors in prime. The pci I am pretty sure was increasing. Has anybody had experience using tha agp locks on an epox. I am using subtle tuning set to 66mhz, my other options are auto and I think 2/3:1/3 divider or something like that. It says on next boot the agp will be 66 mhz. Thanks


Edit: apparently subtle tuning has to be set to 67 to lock it. I hope this is right I will try it tonight.
 
Well I put it to 67 that and it is now locked, but the problem still exists. I can not run prime95 it halts after 1 min. I can however run superpi, 3dmark and cpu Stability Test. I had the problem at 225 and upped the vcore and it did not help. I also made it to 235 before superpi would not run. I am as far as I can tell stable in games and windows. What should I do. I would also like to go a little farther with the overclock so any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
My ram is already at the 166 divder and is running at I think 360. Also I don't have a HTT multiplier, that is AMD only, but thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming. There has to be something I haven't tried.
