Overclocking a 2800+

[Bradleylicious]

I just ordered my new heatsink (Thermalright SLK 900A) so I am finally ready to do some OCing. But i am currious, what are some good expectations. How fast can I get this thing going? I guess I am curious, what are the limitations of this chip? Also I have a gigabyte mobo, and Easytune 4 is the software denoted to oc. What is the best way to do all this...up the FSB, or the multiplyer? Can you tell I am new to this...
Any Help is greatly appreciated

Specs:
Blue Aspire Turbo X-SuperAlien 500W PS with 7 Blue Led Case Fans
AMD Barton 2800+
Thermalright SLK 900A with 80mm Thermaltake tornado (until I get my 92mm tornado)
Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 Mobo
128 mb ATI Radaon 9800 Pro
2x256 Geil Golden Dragon Ultra PC3200 ran in Dual
36gig WD SATA Raptor 10000RPM
120gig Maxtor Ultra133 7200RPM
80gig Samsung Ultra133 7200RPM
-all three in RAID 0 config

You're kidding?

As far as the OC is concerned, go in the bios and slowly raise the FSB until it wont boot anymore, then try raising the vcore and/or vdimm and raise the FSB a little more. How can you stand listening to that noisy tornado fan?

actually right now i don't have it hooked up. i will be using it as a temperary solution till i get some good ideas for a 92mm smartfan. Do you have any suggestions? I agree, noise is an issue...

as far as the raid config...just the 2 ata drives are in raid 0...not 3...

Panaflo makes a really nice 92mm 30dB fan, and the Vantec Stealth is around 20dB w/ decent airflow. I use a SLK800a w/ Panaflo 80mm 21dB fan on my 2500+ @ 2.5GHz (~3600+?)

How else are you going to get a 37 or 38C temp while running a Barton at 100% load at 2.5ghz?
