Added voltage may help, but there could be other factors. Does it BSOD you, or just reboot? I'd add voltage to the CPU, then test, if a no go, reduce voltage back to what it was and add voltage to RAM, test, if not go reset to previous and try voltage to chipset, then test, etc. If you bump up the voltage for more than one thing at once, you don't know which one was the problem, so singling it out is the easiest way to go. It could be memory timings too, or overheating, etc...gotta try it all

Well, it all depends on your hardware. I've never played around wuth your setup so it's kind of hard to tell. Usually when testing voltage, I go by a .05v increase each time.
As far as RAM, well it's the same story, but in larger increments. Not really sure about the deal with DDR2, but when I had been into overclocking, it was 2.6-3.5v area. Probably completely different now, but I think it still goes in 0.1v increments with most boards. If you're trying to squeeze only a few more MHz out of them, and it takes an extra 0.3v, then voltage isn't going to be your problem there. I'd look at timings.

cause im too lazy to mess with RAM dividers and such.... and besides, its too late now

dont know what my original clock was 4 my FX5200, the clock now is 405MHZ..
