There's no way to know, till you know. Just keep stepping up your bus speeds
till your system becomes unstable and then back off a bit. I have an Athlon XP
2600+ which runs at 1.9 ghz stock. I can get to about 2.1 before my system
becomes unstable. I have read online that some people are running the same chip
at 2.3, so it largely depends on the individual chip you have.

P.S. I have found that it's not really worth it to overclock. Minimum gains with
imcreased risk?!
