I would say judging by your component's it's gotta be your RAM upgrade it to a stick of PC 133 or PC 150 and then give overclocking another go, otherwise that PC 100 is gonna hold you back everytime...

Hope that helps

Can I assume that it is katmai processor? If so, 112 is possible, but not for sure. What cooling do you have?

becasue they were the last of the 0.25micron generation and were reaching the limits of it's capabilites, the best overclockers are alway the first lot of a die size, for example the coppermines are great overclockers because they are the first to use a 0.18 micron die size
