if you have stock everything, if you MB allows it, 3.2 or so should be fine for most part, just keep an eye on your temps.
even with aftermarket coolers you might not get much more out of it as AMD cpus don't typically overclock much unless they are the black version.
i have a 445,, i've only moved it a couple hundred mhz myself -- you probably won't notice much difference anyways may be best to upgrade the vid card or the cpu for a more noticeable experience

That's interesting because my Phenom II 925 has a 2.8GHz stock speed but will run happily at 3.5GHz.
