what is g0 stepping?

Overclocking is the process of increasing a clock or bus speed. FSB/HTT or multipliers are the only way to do this.

A stepping refers to the internal design of a processor, G0 is considered a nice stepping for conroe chips.
 
As they make core changes or improvements from the original design, AMD and Intel both have there little stepping levels they go by to show core improvements.
 
You can only raise the multiplier on certain CPU's with an unlocked multiplier, such as the AMD FX series, BE series, or Intel Extreme series.

What does htt stand for? And what exactly is g0 stepping? Like shorting out certain parts?

HTT is a AMD thing not Intel, like said above it is Hypertransport, replaced the FSB. Intel has/had HT Hyper Threading. Stepping is not shorting anything out. Its core improvements from the orginial design

I don't know if the below explanation of HyperTransport will help, but here it is:

AMD's HyperTransport technology: This technology is a faster speed point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers. HyperTransport technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system, which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's processors to use system memory (Random Access Memory) more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor systems.
