Default just overclocked my PC!

I overclocked my p4 2.4 ghz processor to 2.95 ghz. Is this a safe overclocking? because the V-Core voltage is at 1.625 volts, the DDR reference voltage is at 2.7 volts and the AGP voltage thingy is at 1.9 volts and my FSB is at 123mhz, but the RAM is 266mhz but the computer says "system failed in CPU overclocking" and i figured what i have is about as high as i can go because when i had the fsb at 124mhz the computer would boot normally until the XP loading bar appeared then a blue screen with lots of numers and letters would come up for about half a second then the comp would restart

Nice over clock, word of advice tho, keep an eye on your cpu temperature, get the reading from the bios, makes the cpu run at full capacity for a better reading, if the temperature reading is around 68 deg you will find you will get some problems when your cpu is under stress so you will need a good cooling solution

i've found out that the socket 478 processors came with clock speed up to 3.06 ghz, so i should be fine with 3.02 ghz, I hope
