I believe your CPU has B0 stepping, not C1. I can't tell you how much it can be overclocked, but not as much as the C1 variety.

From what I hear if the B0 in your posession is from Malasya then its max FSB is 150-160. If its from Puerto Rico then it may be higher. But in general the B0 has a max FSB of about 165. However, there are people with B0's that get higher than that. So plug her in and cross your fingers. If your hoping to get the FSB to 170 or more I don't think it will happen.

if say it can max out at 160FSB, what is it in term of MHZ??
thanks

Let's see. The multiplier is 18 right? so 160x18 = 2.88GHz for the processor and 160x4 = 640MHz for the FSB

looks like these guys answered the question pretty well.

Here is intel specs for that proc.
