First off, read this: if you are new to overclocking / read here for starters

As for how high you can overclock it, that's hard to say. If you have very good air cooling, a decent power supply, and a motherboard that's good for overclocking (all prerequisites) then I'd expect you to at least be able to get to 260x9 = 2.34GHz. Maybe. It's hard to say, and that's based on my overclock of the E2200, which is a bit higher end.

Negatives of overclocking include instantly voiding your warranty, possibly hardware failure, and hours wasted trying to get it stable for little or no increase in real-world performance.

Very well said.

That should be stickied.

Not on budget modern single core setups :P. Where you can clock up from ~2.6 range to 3.5-4.0 with stability with correct air cooling.

This also, however, reduces the lifespan of the chips, and yes, improperly done could lead to disastrous results
