is it a willamette or a northwood?
just read the amount of L2 cache it has on the retail box. If its 512 then its northwood, and you may be able to get it close to 3 ghz, or you may not even be able to get it past 2.3!
Thats the thing with the 2 ghz cpus, they all are very different... My 2A ghz cpu (northwood) is running at 133 fsb (533 quad pumped) and 2.67 ghz.
