In that case using FSB is only way. Get MB manual and became familiar with BIOS settings. You'll need to set everything on manual, lower RAM multiplier by one step, set PCIe to manual 100MHz and start raising FSB in steps of 5 at first. It's most probably 200 now so raise to 205 and test everything. After that you will probably have to raise CPU voltage a notch and so on until it becomes unstable. How much of OC you'd end up with nobody can tell you for sure, it's very individual thing, depends also on CPU and other part's cooling.
