We can help further in future (explaining things better) but as a quick rubric to what the eventual goal will be:

1) Reduce CPU multiplier to 5x, reduce HT Link to 2x, reduce RAM to 200:100
2) Increase the HTT by 5 MHz
3) Run Orthos 30 minutes
4) If it passes, go to step 2; if it fails go to step 5
5) Subtract 10 MHz from the HTT you just tried and write that number down as "Max HTT"
6) Return HTT to 200, increase memory to 200:200
7) Increase the HTT by 5 MHz
8) Run Orthos 30 minutes
9) If it passes, go to step 7; if it fails go to step 10
10) Subtract 10 MHz from the HTT you just tried and write it down as "Max RAM"
11) Return the HTT to 200 and the RAM to 200:100, then set the CPU multiplier to its maximum (in your case, 11x)
12) Increase the HTT by 5 MHz
13) Run Orthos 30 minutes
14) If it passes, go to step 12; if it fails go to step 14
15) Subtract 10 MHz from the HTT you just tried, multiply it by the multiplier in step 11, and write it down as "Max CPU"
OPTIONAL:
16) Return the HTT to 200 and the CPU multiplier to 5x, change the HT Link to 5x
17) Increase the HTT by 5 MHz
18) Run Orthos 30 minutes
19) If it passes, go to step 16; if it fails go to step 20
20) Subtract 10 MHz from the HTT you just tried, multiply it by 5, and write it down as "Max HyperTransport"

Now we know your max CPU, max memory clock, max HyperTransport, and max HTT. If you enter those values into Gogar it will give you a good starting point for your overclock. (The boxes in Gogar correlate to step 15, step 10, step 20, and step 5 in my rubric above.)

Note, the "Max RAM" only applies for those timings. Change the timings, and you change the "Max RAM" value. Sometimes it is better to start looser and then try to tighten them down later. Note further that these all apply for the same voltages. If you increase your CPU voltage, you may increase Max CPU. If you increase your NBV or VDIMM, you may increase your Max RAM. If you increase HTV, you might increase your Max HyperTransport. Note all the mays. Voltage does not always increase the clockability.
mama mia i feel like i hit the gold mine lol. finally people who can show me the light.

anyhow here is the cpu and spd you requested.

Thank you for spending the time and typing and providing such detailed instructions step by step just what i need.

let me know what to do next. or if i can begin your instructions. i cant wait.

btw off topic my gpu runs stock on load max at 85. is that bad? when i overclock on load max is 90. is 90 alright? i hear they can go pretty high.

and just a simple yes no question is it possible to overclock pc3200ram.

sorry for the random questions. it just seems like you know your way around the block with overclocking.
