Hello this is my first post and first major attempt at overclocking 
i just finished upgrading my computer with a new mobo and cpu and was looking forward to overclocking them.
The specs on it are:
Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 170
and a 939Dual-SATA2 with the newest bios.
Ive got the cpu with a slight overclock at 2.2 GH but i was wondering how far theoretically i could go with this setup.
To my understading to overclock these I would be changing the voltages, FSP, cpu multiplier and the HTT multiplier.
Any insight is greatly appreciated
For futher specs on how it is now here is a cpuz dump info:
