It can be overclocked. It usually hits in the 2.2Ghz to 2.4Ghz range.

well on average...you should get around 2.2+...but this will also depend on the stepping and cooling and PSU and if you are getting the 266 or 333...the 266 OCes better then the 333 does...

And as for your title...every Tbred and Barton will be unlocked on that MB...and since it reads the 5th FIB...you will have up to 16x multiplier selection without having to mod the CPU...

The 2500 333 will not OC has high as the 266's...the 266's will OC 100Mhz+ more then the 333's...and the 266's will still run well past 333Mhz ...so if you want a OCer...then go with the 266 version...and don't worry about matching the ram to the CPU...
