Whatever you do take it slowly, inch up the multiplier one setting at a time, and let it run at that setting for at least a week before any further modifications. If you notice increased instability clock it back down, not all processors can be overclocked reliably. I clocked my Beige G3 266 to 300Mhz, them t0 333Mhz with a 66Mhz bus, and when that proved to be stable I clocked the bus up to 83Mhz and left processor at 333Mhz.
