you don't want a high multi. youll get a way better performance out of higher fsb, because it speeds everything in the computer up. you might try upgrading the ram, like pc2700 or something along those lines

well for good performance you want multipers between 9.0-10.5 for instance to get 1800mhz you could run 10x180fsb or you could run 9.5x190fsb wich gives you a great performance gain, I'm currently running 9x190 (waiting for my SLK-800 to try 9.5x190)

well I think overclocking is like crack, once you try it you get hooked and you never look back!

your motherboard must properly accept the multiper, also I think you have to connect one of the l5 bridges on your xp

What stepping is the CPU and at what vcore are you working???
I think that the previous posts are correct ....go for a lower multi...with higher FSB

try droping the multi down to 10 and uping the fsb to 166, that when most divsors kick in

problem
The problem is that the board's max pci divisor is 1/4 and it kicks in at 133 FSB. So as you go higher in FSB the pci bus and agp bus continue to go out of spec. Some kt266/a boards can do 166 and even a little higher, but if you want those really high FSB speeds you need a motherboard with a 1/5 divisor whichi kicks in around 166 FSB... aka a KT333 motherboard.
Since you'vwe got a GB of memory, I'd say one of those sticks is holding you back. Try less memory and see if you can get higher on a single stick. Also try to adjust the memory timings and make them weaker... higher numbers for memory settings.
