I have googled for "G41M-VS3 overclock", and found some results on Toms Hardware in german. Using 1333-Ram should be possible, but reported not to work with the q6600 (or any other 1066 CPU). They used it with 1333-CPUs (i.e. Q9650). Going beyond 333x4 was possible, but not beyond 344x4 (so max 1377).
Most people describe the board as "cheap, not having the ressources for overclocking).

My own experiments/experience with overlocking my q6600 on ASRock boards was just terrible. The q6600 was going fine to 2.7 GHz without problems on Gigabyte-boards, but on my ASRock-boards, not a little bit. I only have good experience with overclocking on ASRock boards since P67 chipsets.
Sorry to be of no help here... :-(
