Update to the latest BIOS and just have at it. It's all about trial and error. Make sure you keep an eye on temps and good luck with the overclock. What kind of cooling will you be using?

I got a e6600 myself, I dance whenever I see the Core 2 Duo commercial on TV because I'm so happy

if you are using a tower hs like the ninja then use the fan. as the lack of air from a tower and water cooling the pwm's and chipset need this fan installed in order to cool them.
the p5b does not have high voltage for ddr2 ram, irc its only 2v or 2.1v which is not good for high speed ram.

The Core 2 Duo, and any decent motherboard whether it be a DS3, an S3, a P5B... is more-or-less an automatic camera. You just point, and overclock.
Once I switched power supplies and put my water cooler on I just threw the damned thing up to 3ghz. Never even bothered to LOOK at anything lower than that. Then I hit 524FSB on cheap RAM.
So now I've maxed out at 3.64ghz. And that's only because I stopped trying. But it's already faster than any other dual core chip on the market at stock.
So there you have it. I may get a better video card somewhere down the line so I can play Crysis and all that wonderful stuff. But the upgrade is over for the next two or three years.
I would get a P5B Deluxe. But what would I do with it? Maybe hit 530mhz? My RAM would give out on me before I hit 600.

Raise the timings as high as they will go on the ram, more voltage on the ram. Higher NB and SB voltage if needed, really depends what you are using currently.

ninja is a nice heatsink. i like its large size...means you don't need a loud fan to keep acceptable temps.
here's mine installed on a p5b-dlx: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=243187449&context=set-72157594332726895&size=l
