Help OC'ing 2.4c 800 fsb in Abit IC7-G

I've overclocked a couple of Abit machines before but I'm not sure where
to start with this one that I've just put together. I'm hoping for
3.0ghz but I ran out of money for the graphics card and I hope that
won't kill my chances. Below is what I'm working with.

1. Abit IC7-G MB
2. 2.4c pent 4 800fsb
3. 2 sticks of matched Corsair DDR400 XMS3200
4. Abit Siluro FX5200 8x 128 mb

Thanks for any help

I have the 533FSB version of that

3. 2 sticks of matched Corsair DDR400 XMS3200

Same ram (but only 1 stick)

4. Abit Siluro FX5200 8x 128 mb

And I have worse -- GeForce 4 MX 440-SE (DDR333)

Thanks for any help

Don't worry, I think your chances of hitting 3GHz are fine. I have a worse
graphics card and have no problems at 2.95GHz. Because you have the 800MHz
version, I expect your overclocking experience to be even better (because of
the low multiplier which you have, since you have the slowest available
800MHz processor). You should be fine.

Just make sure to keep your PCI settings at 33MHz and your AGP settings at
66MHz. Don't expect the corsair ram to overclock much, mine only went up
about 10MHz (but my next divider setting would set it at DDR436, so I wasn't
surprised by that, a 36MHz increase on RAM is a bit much).
