E2180 + GA-73PVM-S2 will run all day at 3.1Ghz with stock voltages, I've done it loads of times.
Seems pointless over volting for 0.1Ghz.No need to touch the CPU settings, the defaults are speedstep and thermal throttling on, which is what you want. EDIT - The Patriot ram you have chosen looks like it needs 2.2v and the motherboard won't allow you to change the voltage from stock 1.8v.
There is a warning about this in the C2D motherboard sticky.

Well I could not get much past 2.3 on stock volts kept failing to boot, maybe its the ram? should I try and get some that matches mobo [1.8v] ;-( 1.4vcore will get me 3 gig no problem
Maybe its just some chips clock better than others
Running very near 3.3 at 1.5vore ouch!
Take to back off

Whilst it's true to say that there is a difference between C2D processors, it doesn't seem to be all that wide in reality. It really should be making at least 3GHz on stock Vcore unless it happens to be worse than any other E2180 I've ever seen documented. To give you an example of what can be done with a CPU with the same core electrically, my E4300 runs happily 24/7 undervolted to 1.28Volts.
Look elsewhere for the root of the problem. Although raising Vcore fixes the problem, I don't believe that it's the true root of it. As Dave says, the memory you're using is totally unsuitable for that mobo. It may be the cause, but it's impossible to know for sure without trying something more suitable. I hope you have something else laying around so you can try it without spending out any more cash.
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
System specs:
"Phoenix" / "The '43' Special" - 1.8GHz Intel C2D E4300 overclocked to 2.83GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (BIOS rev 2.10, VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 1GB Vitesta DDR500 RAM (2.5,3,3,7,1T @ DDR472MHz), Jetway ATI X1950Pro 256MB GDDR3 PCIe graphics card with modded AC Accelero X2 cooler dynamically overclocked to 650MHz GPU & 1.5GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

I have in my desktop but again I think its 2.1v .... please if you could point me in the right direction I do no mind ordering a stick just to try it.... I have never liked upping the volts of my cores but it was something I wanted to try on a cheap set up
It maybe the ram thats causing the problem, and I want to fix it :-)
