Yeah basically check out my thread and ask any questions from there.
And as the others said above, locate the FSB speed control in your BIOS and increase it a few mhz at a time, testing the stability of your computer (say with a quick game of CSS) as you go.
Your temps shouldnt increase much (if at all) until you start increasing the cpu voltage (gives extra stability), and make sure that you lock your AGP/PCI bus to prevent corruption of your hard disks.

Right, I've taken a look at your motherboard manual, and these are the settings you need to be concentrating on.
Section: CPU Frequency Control
Async AGP/PCI/SRC CLK = Enabled
Clock By Slight Adjust - Increase this by 3-5mhz at a time testing stability as you go.
CPU Vcore Adjust - Only increase this by one level should you find that the system is unstable at overclocked settings, and test stability again.

get prime95 from there and run a torture test for stability
also superpi is available from there, so run a 32million digit test.
also google for mbm5 (motherboard monitor 5) for your temps, or alternatively for a less accurate option when it comes to voltages, use speedfan (again google)
also have a browse thorugh other things on that downlaods list, and see if you see anything that may help you.

Also S&M is a great app for stress tesing - though a little scary 
bet it has some links the faint hearts would have a heart attack over.

thiers a page i made a while back with alot of tools i use for benchmarking or overclocking. I havet updated the page in months. If you want to compare benchmarks i have some of mine saved here
http://balewolf.t35.com/id26.htm
they are outdated by now but a base for you to look at.

okay cool thanks guys just a little update! im now running it at 2.9ghz mite push the big 3.0 today if im feeling risky! but i can play cs and still kick xms' ass all day so as long as that is happening im happy! o and i upped the voltage by 5% is ther anything else i should be looking out for? like those pci/agp frequencies do they need to be upped or anything?
