Overclocking my Rig

I need to figure out a way to get more juice in my Vcore.

I've currently got my Athlon 2500 with a FSB of 220, multiplier's set at 11, Core Voltage is at 2.0, and it's still leaning towards too little juice feeding my processor. Will changing my multiplier fix that? It's pretty damn stable other than having having a leaning towards too little juice. Other than that though, Temp's fine and I'm already getting 2.43 GHz out of it. Would like to decrease my DRam voltage if possible...it's at 2.8 currently, but it's leaning a little towards too high. I'd like to keep my processor's speed where it is if possible, and gain a wee bit more stability. :D Pretty good for a first time overclock if you ask me. ;)

There is a way to re-unlock the athlon multiplier... it can be found on http://www.tomshardware.com. Go to the CPU section and scroll down a bit. It should be there.
No. I was wrong. It's actually a really old article. July 10, 2000. I'm still taking a look at it. It's still possible if AMD uses the same way to set voltage and FSB on the processor... Hm. Okay, here's the scoop. In the BIOS, you should be able to increase the multiplier on the 2500+ to 12.5... That is, however, as high as it goes. You may have to lower the FSB a tad if you increase the multiplier for stability reasons. I would lower the FSB first, and then mess with the multiplier. Slowly raise the FSB until you find a suitable configuration.
