If so, How would I do it? Does it pull directly form the 3.3v line?

Would raising standard SDRAM voltage help?

If it pulls directly from 3.3v, How do I increase the voltage?

You just bump up the 3.3V rail BUT you also run the risk of having everything on that rail jacked up. I tried mine to 3.8V before & after I hit save it would even POST. The max I can go is 3.7V but I got no benefits to my overclock.Gnufsh said:

I wonder...
Could I run a 5v line through a big pot and hook it to whatever supplies the voltage to the DIMM slots?

You will fry the DIMMs that way.
5V would kill them.
On a lot of older motherboards there are SIMM and DIMM slots. DIMMs run at 3.3V and SIMMs at 5V. There have been numerous fried motherboards because people tried to use both at once and 5V kills DIMMs.

So how would you bump the 3.3v rail on an Abit ST6? I have no option in the BIOS. My BE6-II used to have it, but not the ST6.

With a big pot, it would drop the voltage the 5v line was adding.
