Overclocking XP 2000/core voltage

Whats going on guys? I have been saving up for this so-called top dolla gaming machine which I have just put together. I have unlocked the cpu and have already overclocked it about an hour ago. I have the cpu settings at 166X10 which is giving me a fsb of 333. No problems yet. What I have not done is upped the cpu voltage on the processor, I am not quite sure where to put it or if I have to. Right now it is sitting at the stock setting of, 0.00v. I don't want anything to mess up, im sure i might have to raise the core clock v. about .5 or so?!?! Here is the specs on my POS:
Epox 8kha+ MOBO
Corsair Xms2700 Ram (256megger)
Athlon xp 2000 gig (1.66)
Cooler Master TIght silver case with 5 fans
3-80 gig ata 133 7200 rpm hd's
Ge-Force 3 Ti 500 Vid Card
Cd Rom/Dvd Rom/Cd Burner 3 dif drives
Swiftech Mcx462 Cpu Fan
Arctic Ice cpu gunky stuff
After i get this done i am going to overclock the ram more, the corsair ram supposevly can handle up to 400mhz fsb (aint gonna put it that high)
Some insight on the core voltage would be most appreciated. thank you. Joe
 
Generally, only raise VCore as required for stability at your chosen FSB. If raising VCore doesn't stabilize the cpu, reduce both FSB and VCore.

Any VCore higher than necessary for stability at a chosen speed only increases cpu heat.

All cpus are a bit different. My XP1600+ is unstable at any speed with VCore above 1.8V.

Hope this helps!
