Hi everybody
I registered here because i need help with overclocking and i dont want to fry something in my PC.
First of all i have this Mobo, cpu and ram:

CPU:

RAM:

I also have this cpu cooler:

...and arctic rc cooler for ram modules:

--------------------------------------------------------
Now for the past 2 years i ran cpu 3,2GHz (a friend helped me with overclocking it to 3.0GHz then after a while i managed to get it to 3.2) but i was running winXP and everything was just fine. Now for the past half year since i installed windows 7 i got these random freezes on PC. Whole system just freezes it doesent restart it just hangs up. Sometimes i can work on the PC for hours and the other time it will freeze after 1 min or 2 after reboot. Its really annoying.
Untill yesterday i blamed nvidia gpu drivers because lots of people have complained about them but yesterday i found out the real problem for my pc hanging up is the OC.
Because all of these freezes i'm having now i've set cpu back to 2,66GHz but i would like to overclock it back up to at least 3,4GHz and to be stable.
I also read some articles on the internet about OCing e6750 to those speeds with air-cooling bot all of them have different ram and i'm a bit confused with that.
As far as i understand is my motherboard supports DDR2-800/667/533 memmory. So i bought "DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)" and they are working on dual channel so they both run at 400Mhz (400*2=800).
But now this thing that i dont unerstand is if set MHz for memmory to 1066 (533*2) will that be okay? Or do i need to buy new RAM for me to OC?
