I would like to overclock my system

[elivate]

So here are the specs of the system I would like to OC:

• Microsoft Windows XP
• Patriot Signature Line 2GB 2X1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL5 240PIN Memory Dual Channel DIMM Kit
• Antec Sonata III Black ATX 16IN Mid Tower Quiet Case 3X5.25 2X3.5 4X3.5IN 500W 120MM Fan
• Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160 Dual Core Processor LGA775 1.8GHZ 800FSB 1MB
• Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L ATX LGA775 P35 1333FSB 1PCI-E16

I have read that this CPU is excellent for overclocking but I am really not sure where to start... I have owned this for 2 years now and (obviously) have never attempted to overclock it...

A lot of the things I have read talk about a 400 fsb on this processor so that has me confused as mine says 800...

With stock cooling and a decent case fan what can I expect to get out of this thing? Also, can someone let me know the details that I need to be aware of when setting the numbers in the bios? Voltage, multiplier, etc...

Thanks!!
