Noob to ovclocking, where should I start with my 2.8c?

Just built my system, been running great for a few days, but there's always room for improvement. 😀 So where do I start?

IS7
p4 2.8C
2x512 meg PC3200 HyperX sticks (matched)
ATI 8500

I have one front intake fan, two rear exhaust fans, and then the PSU which also is an exhaust two fan unit. So basically I'm using 4 fans and retail heat sink. I'm not looking to go crazy, but hoping I can add about 400 mhz. MY CPU temp is a bit high, 48 idle, ~55 during Unreal Tournament 2K3. But then again it's an IS7, so the temps are maybe 5-10 degrees too high.

So yeah... where do I start?

Other question is while I know it is pretty much pot luck for whether the CPU is a good OC'er or not, but certain dates and locations tend to be better. Who can tell me if mine is a good one or not? I don't know what info you need so I'll just look off the box and give you whatever.
