Increase RAM voltage
When I still had my 667MHz RAM, my computer wouldn't POST after a certain FSB speed. Increasing the RAM voltage made it POST but it was unstable, unstable, unstable (random freezes/BSODs). I didn't try to increase it more, because (afaik) it isn't possible to check RAM temperature, and I didn't feel like frying my RAM.
Now that I have a 800MHz RAM, I can overclock beyond that point without having to increase voltage. I am happily running my E6400 from 2.13GHz to 3GHz right now (I can probably OC more, but I never tried)
