Overclocking Basics? I'm such a n00b.

I'm looking to overclock my computer as far as i can before it becomes unstable. I've got an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton Core 400mhz FSB running on an ABIT NF7-S 2.0. I'm running Kingston Valueram 512MB Kit 2×256 PC 3200 Non-ECC 400MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.6V, CL3, Gold) and an Antec 300W PSU. My cooler is a Thermalright SP-97 with a Panaflo 92mm M1A.

What is a good motherboard monitor and what is the best way to go about this? I am a complete and total n00b when it comes to O/C. Where can i get a copy of Prime95? I've seen people post about using it to test for stability?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! So I've got MBM and Prime95 now and my system seems to be running between 37C-39C when idle and no higher than 50C under the Prime95 torture test. So when you ask what do I get for rails does that mean what the actual voltage is that I'm getting on the 12v & 5v?
