Scharnhorst,
I'm not sure what bios settings are available to you, but basically you want to run the cpu at 9x333 and the memory at 667. Doing this keeps them both at the same speed...............(ddr2 = 333x2). Your memory should have no trouble with this speed. Keep an eye on your cpu voltage, you might have to go a little higher to get stability, but 1.325v would be a good starting point.
I wouldn't let loaded temps get higher than the mid 60's. Judging from your idle temps I'm guessing, but with voltages at or around 1.325 - 1.35 and the cpu at 3.0 Ghz your loaded temps will likely be right around low 60's or maybe high 50's. This is just a wild guess on my part, so keep an eye on them.
Also, it can help to disable unneeded options/devices in the bios, like serial ports, firewire, printer ports midi ports etc. If you are not sure what an option does, leave it at default. If you still have trouble let me know what brand mobo you are using and I will try to get more info on bios settings to tweak things a bit more.
Wes9555,
You need to pay attention to the core temps. Those look like nice idle temps for a stock cpu. Mine idles in that range, perhaps a little lower, but my computer rooms ambient temperature is probably a bit lower than yours which would account for the difference. It does seem like a wider range between the cores than I usually see, which might suggest that the hsf is not seated evenly. I say might, because it is normal to have some variation in core temps and every cpu is slightly different.
