Ok, so I'm having trouble overclocking my RAM. It is currently running at 838 on a 10:8 ratio with my CPU at 3 GHz (335x9). I've been trying to break 1000, but like I said, it's not going to well. Last night I set the ratio to 8:6...I think that's what it was anyway. I used the 2.66 option (891) for the memory multiplier, but it failed orthos at about the 25 minute mark. I had the voltage set at +2 so it was running on 2.0 volts...the normal voltage it runs at is 1.9 on auto. Timings are manual at 5-5-5-15.
Here's a pic of my current settings:

More indepth memory options: http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m117/Metal0wns/CIMG0021-1.jpg
Those options that I circled in red I just set to what it said in the left column there, because I don't really know what they do.
This is the RAM I have: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
The voltage on the specs say 1.8~2.0, and I'm already at 2.0. I'm not really sure if I should go over that though. Obviously I wouldn't give it like 2.7 volts or something like that, but is it safe for me to set that at 2.1 or 2.2?
Those other voltages (FSB, PCI-E, and GMCH overvoltage controls) I left alone, because I don't really know what those do either or if they have any effect on the RAM.
So any help with this?
