In most cases with Intel it would be just about bumping up FSB and looking out for temperatures and RAM frequency. If your RAM is DDR2-800 it can usually go up to 900Mhz with stock voltage (which for RAM should never go over 2.0-2.1v in most cases). Then if you want to get over 3.2Ghz with E8400 you will need to give it little more voltage (like +0.05 or so, don't add too much if you are first timer). Check temps all the time.
I have got my E8500 to 4.3Ghz with 1.35v and OCZ Vanquisher cooler. Did not change anything other than FSB and some voltages, switched RAM to lower ratio to keep it in bay.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR HARDWARE. OVERCLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK, WHEN IT WILL START SMOKING - UNPLUG THE POWER.

hmpf.....
set the memory to 1:1 (if you have 667 memory you can't overclock. you probably have 800 in witch case use 1:1)
set the fsb @356
your done!
but i would put the fsb at like 375. you'ld be at 3.5 ghz witch you can do at stock voltages with stock fan. when the summer comes you may need to put the fsb to 356 unless you hvae an aftermarket fan or have air conditioning.
