You really want to ruin your entire system...? One thing to keep in mind is to have ample power for the entire build and then some more when overclocking. You also didn't mention the make and model of the PSU and it's age(and if it's second hand, forget about overclocking).

RAM: 2X1 Kingston 333 MHz and 2x1 GB PQ1 CORP 400 MHz DDR2 RAM!
You should invest in a ram kit, since this will cause instability issues.

Make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard before attempting an overclock.

Okay, got it. The PSU only info I have is it says "Model: 350X" and these voltage/amper controls and wattages on certain voltage rails. I took out the PSU, it just does not show a brand, literally unbranded.

I could go with a 800 or 1066 MHz RAM kit, maybe Corsair XMS2 or Kingston HyperX DDR2, maybe buy it on Ebay
 
With those parts the liming component will be that DDR2-667 stick. The rest should be good to go for casual 400 FSB, most likely even with undervolting.
The real fun comes after that. Seeing how high you can get it. 400 FSB is something basically every 333 FSB Core 2 can do.
I have a pair of Corsair Value DDR2-800 that will do 880 with CL5 and 946 with CL6, which is enough for 473 FSB and allows my old E8400 to run at 4.2 GHz.
