Ok, quick question, If I am correct, upping the VCore setting will enhance the voltage to everything on the motherboard, not only cpu but ram, agp slots, pci, the whole thing. My question:

How will this effect the ram, will I need good quality ram to have it work with an overclocked vcore?

VCORE should be uping the voltage on your CPU.
VDIMM I think thats what its called is upping the voltage on your memory.

You should never up the voltage on a motherboard. There is no easy way to do this anyway without breaking out the soldering iron so you should have to worry.

Increasing the available current with a better power supply is good for stability.

Your mobo should have voltage settings for vcore (CPU), Vdimm(memory) and AGP(Video Card). Each one should be set seperate. You should never have to touch your AGP voltage. Just remember votage increase adds heat. You should read a good overclocking guide before you add voltage or increase the FSB.
