Prime95 failure due to processor, RAM, or both?

I tried to kick up my 2.4B yesterday and at 174 FSB it hit an error in Prime95, so I bumped the voltage on vCore up. At 1.65v it failed even faster thant it did at stock voltage (2 min compared to 4-5 min), I don't know if it's randomly like that but I though a .2 voltage increase would be sufficient to hold it somewhat steady. This is considering that it is completely stable at 173 FSB. I haven't changed my RAM timings, but they're at 2-3-3-8 right now and next step is to lower it to 2.5 which I don't want to do. But I'm thinking Prime95's stability test is geared toward the processor only no?

Try and test one thing at a time. FIrst Try and up the fsb without raising the core clock (by multiplier adjustment) then do the inverse process , raise the core clock without raising the fsb. Then you will see if it's the memory or the CPU that is failing.

Haha, multiplier wha???! ^^^P4 2.4b
