what is your motherboard? only abit NF7s and DFI ultra infinity's will reach anywhere near the '265-270FSB' and that is very rare in itself, and requires modding.

you will need to up the DIMM voltage if you want to overclock the ram.. are you able to change that with your bios as it appears to be dimmed (no pun intended). i think the DRAM voltage (which you have whacked up to 3.2v is different to the DIMM voltage.)
sometimes the ram needs another .1v to run at stock speed 100% stable.

'measly 240mhz over 232mhz stock ram speed.' you have ram which is set to do 233mhz at its set voltage.. if you want more then you'll have to up the volts more for stability. 240mhz fsb is in no way measly.

'is there actually anyone here with brains that can help me out? this is really getting on my nerves'
whilst this is the overclocking section.. this (pcmech) is by no means a dedicated overclocking forum and overclocks aren't the norm here.. let alone OC experts.. pcmech users are more willing to help than the average OC forum however, so if u want help be patient please, and dont question the intelligence or knowledge of those who you want help from.

if you want more mhz from your CPU then you'll have to up the CPU voltage aswell.. 1.6v should keep it stable but you'll need to up the volts to OC it.. also what is you PSU? if it is cheap then it may struggle to supply the voltage when you try to OC.
