How far you can overclock it will depend on many things. MB with PCI lock?
How fast is your ram? Cooling? Voltages?
With my ram bus set to 200MHz, I can get the system bus up to 215MHz for
2150MHz. That also puts the ram bus at 215MHz and that's the fastest it
will run with the ram I have. To go higher, I could lower the initial ram
speed to 166Mhz and then I could probably go higher. But without a PCI
lock on this board, it wouldn't be a lot higher. The best overclock I've
seen is with a Sempron 3100+ (1800MHz) on a 754 board with a PCI lock.
They got the bus speed up to about 280MHz for a cpu speed of a little over
2500MHz. And that was running the low default vcore of 1.4v. The same
CPU on a board without a PCI lock topped out at 220MHz system bus, so the
MB and ram makes the difference.
