That is my specif.I have intel stock cooler.Do I need to buy new one for 3.0mhz if I could reach it? I read that if I increese FSB to 250 I will have 3.0mhz and I have to slow down ram to ...? Can some one tell me exaxtly what memory timeings for ram and other?
And what this means for my MB:

Only supported with PCB version R2.00 or higher, and BIOS P2.80 or higher.
**FSB1066-CPU is supported by overclocking only when you adopt an external VGA card and DDR400 CL2.5 memory modules.

Thanx

Yes I forgot. My PSU is ATX 400W
 
If you raise the FSB to 250 MHz at a 1:1 FSB : DRAM ratio, the resulting DRAM frequency would be DDR-500 which is well above the rated DDR-400 RAM that's currently installed. You would either need to increase the DRAM voltage (VDDQ +1.58V Voltage), and / or loosen the primary DRAM timings from the default of 3-3-3-8 at 200 MHz to something along the lines of 4-4-4-8 at 250 MHz.
