The OC guide?

I should have my new parts for my build by Monday so I was trying to research OC'ing as much as I can. I noticed the guide in this forum is from 2005, is it still applicable? Is there anything I should know that's not in that guide or is there an updated guide somewhere?

I've got a few video guides on Youtube saved but I like being able to read the details and knowing exactly what does what and why. Thanks

That's the guide I'm talking about. Seeing as it was made in 2005 I'm just making sure there is nothing that I should know that's not in it.
 
the only difference from then and now is tuning newer features, but that is only done when you have a 100 buck cooler and a 25/600k going for 4.8 or more ghz.
 
Alright cool, that's pretty much what I wanted to know. I'm waiting on a AMD 965 with a Zalman Cooler so it's not like I'm planning on going above 4.0GHz. Thanks
 
just remeber, bump the fsb up only a couple at a time, and every time reboot and check stability, once you are unstable drop it like 10 or 20 mhz and all, also lowering the multiplier is better and upping the voltage helps, but make sure you know more b4 doing all that stuff, and you could check on what others have gotten on the same chip then drop like 30mhz below theirs and check stability then go up and all, but all chips don't oc the same is why you can't go by what they put exactly.
