I wrote a fair bit down here, documenting my OC, check it out
http://members.dodo.net.au/~ckreskay/pages/overclock.htm
I use 2x512 pc3200 kingmax ram, but I kept it in auto at the moment, as for
raid, I am not using it, but everyone says to use the promise raid setup.
also do yourself a favour and read all the posts on the a8v here and in
alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd for detailed info
