Trying to figure out if this is compatible with my mobo or not

it doesnt take a "guru" to raise his FSB in bios and put on a memory divider. it takes half a brain and a few seconds. plus, it leaves you with a fatter wallet and some <<gasp>> gained knowledge.
 
He should give it a try, especially if it's a 2.4C. Those were known to do ~3.0-3.3 easily.

And yeah, it just takes a brain to OC--just don't do anything stupid (unless you bought a $50 AXP to fool around with/blow up for roffles) and you're fine.
