|  What should I clock to?
OK, I have a nice nForce2 Mobo, Geforce4 Ti4800, Athlon 2400, and 2 sticks of PC3200 256mb...
What should I be able to make out of this?
I have the FSB set to 166mhz, ratio of 12, and the RAM is set to sync (166), ratings 7-3-3-2.5
What would be safe to increase?
How far can the ratios for the CPU go, the fsb go higher, and what are the cas latencies etc??
Any help would be appreciated! I am new to the o'clocking world!

Start by raising the multiplier, .5x at a time. I doubt you'll be able to go higher than 12.5, but try that for starters.
When that's done, then you'll want to start increasing the FSB in small steps. Test for stability often, and always watch your temps.

Shoot for the moon! Go for optimal latency and try to kick it up to 2.4-2.6Gig. 12.5x 190-something.

Do I keep the RAM ar 166, or keep it synced with the fsb for the CPU?? | |

Synched will probably give you better benches if your ram can handle it.
Asynchronous operation increases latency a lot... | |

SYNCHED! Most definitely. If you have some decent PC3200 you should come close to 200fsb if not surpass it. It will depend on your mobo's vdd. | |

How do you go about overclocking memory latency?
My memory is rated for 3632T how would I oc it?

Yeah, the idea is, the lower the timings, the faster the RAM. You don't OC that, you just up the speed and play with them if it breaks 
The basic idea of overclocking is to keep speeding it up until it won't work. Just go as high as you or your kit is happy to.
