Sad 6800GT No Headway for overclock?

Well being as I'm new to Overclocking, I'm sure this is problem caused by my lack of experience. I've just recently tried to overclock my eVGA 6800GT, but found I had no headroom for any overclock. After bumping up the memory and core by 5% I instantly noticed artifacts in game. If anyone could help me out, I'd much appreciate it. Here are my specs:

AMD 3800+ Winchester
ASUS A8N Sli-Deluxe MOBO
2GB Kingston Hyper X RAM
eVGA 6800GT (NV5 Silencer Rev.2 VGA cooler)
550Watt Antect TP PSU

update

I found on another forum that by simply bumping up the PCI-e bus it allows for a larger overclock. Sure enough I set it to 105MHz and now I'm stable at 6800Ultra speeds. I hope this can help others.
