0. For now regardless of what motherboard you have, you are already just a few Mhz shy from a 3200+ clock speed. Unless you are or intend to run intense applications you are not going to see a huge if any difference in your performance if you go higher.

1. If your memory is a truly tested PC3200 ( there are lots of rated but not thoroughly tested PC3200's that will not run @ 3200 out there)you may be able to attain 2.4 or even 2.6Ghz speeds with decent cooling and a good board, total stability might not necessarily follow suit.

Lastly if you are doing this for bragging rights, you better have a high-end graphics card or you will be ashamed to post your benchmarks.
