Can't you raise the FSB in the BIOS? You could probably get to about 2.2ghz I'd imagine.
THIS (http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Guides/OCguide/4.html) might help

i think i'll have to know what ram you are useing; brand, speed, and timings, that will help a lot. the winchester core will do about 2.65 ghz tops if you are lucky, the venice will do about 2.85 give or take .100 mhz... but this is only with high quality memory, and a cpu from a good batch.

In some new ASUS BIOSes, you can disable to sync the fsb with the ram. That's pretty sweet,
my 3500+ is running at 4200+ speeds. :D
