OVERCLOCKING ADVICES PLEASE

[beviet]

My computer specs:
AMD XP2400+ Throughbed B
ASUS N7S8X Deluxe
Dual DDR ( 2 512MB PC2700 Crucial - 1G Total )
Thermalright SK-7 with a highspeed Sunon Fan
Idle time CPU temp 37Celcius/Motherboard temp 26Celcius
My set up as of now
2.30Ghz with 154FSB CPU/ RAM 1:1 ratio
1.78 Vcore
Full load ( 100% CPU Usage 42C/107F running for an hour )
Pass Hot CPU Tester 3 Pro LE ( I think 6-7 hour testing )
My concerns:
when I increase to FSB 155 ( system not stable even I increase the Vcore to 1.8 or 1.85 - what is holding me back?? RAM maybe?? )

and even though, with this set up, is it good to leave the CPU runs 100% for 24/7 most of the time and leave comp on 24/7. Would I damage my hardware and kill the cpu/mobo or even the other hardware.

Running 42c/107F with 1.85 VCore for 24/7 100% CPU is ok?
Any inputs are really appreciated

what is your vdimm at?

I've been out of AMD camp for awhile (my last AMD rig was XP1600+@2200+ with Epox 8K3A+), so I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't think it's all that good for your rig to run @1.85v @100% CPU 24/7... I don't think anyone would do this unless it's necessary... (pls correct me if I'm wrong)

Also, I don't think it's your memory holding you back since they're PC2700 (333DDR=166FSB). BUT, it *might* have to do with the fact that you're running 2 sticks.. Take one our and see if that helps. It's also good idea to relax the memory timing to see if that helps stability...

max,
so how about keep it as it right now running at 1.78V not 1.85
is it still good? or BAD
