Is it worth it to attempt to overclock a locked multiplier 2500+ Barton?

I have a Barton at work but I don't know if it's worth overclocking. The multiplier is locked. I was going to buy an SI-97A and a 92mm Sunon fan that spins at like 4800RPM.

Currently I have 512x2mb Crucial Ballistix with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard.

Do you think it would be worth it and what type of overclock do you think I'd be able to achieve? Do you think I'd be able to achieve 3200+ speeds?

You can try 200mhz fsb which would = 3200+(2.2ghz) speeds. LOTS of people make it to that speed successfully. Can hurt to try. Otherwise, if you have a nForce2 board you can lock the agp/pci bus and bump the fsb up till your cpu won't take anymore. Give it a try :)
