I usually like to keep the PCI below 35MHz, so I don't run long term over 138FSB, since my MB doesn't have a PCI divisor of 5. Is your MB an nForce2 board that can set PCI/AGP independently? If so, I like to run Memtest86 long term to see if any errors come up, then when I get to the point where they first start to, I'll back off a 2 or 3 MHz for stability's sake. Then there are a number of things you can run in Windows to test there, but the good thing about Memtest86 is that there aren't any driver/Windows instability issues to fog the results.
You might check out some of the OC databases for the same lot as your chip to see how they've done, so you have some idea of what to expect. Of course, take into account the cooling used!
