Well by the looks of things you have a week 47 which is most likely multiplier locked, you should be able to FSB clock it tho (as long as you have a good MB, Ram etc).

An Abit NF7-S should be able to reach 200FSB (ie 3200+ speeds - 2.2Ghz), but it depends on the chip - all you can do is try.

Well you've already got it in your hands and you've got decent parts, find out yourself.

Build it without the case on top of your box like (not mine) this
