Of course it can! ASUS boards are some of the most overclockable around.
If you want to learn about overclocking, here are some places you can learn (And you really should LEARN what you're about. Its kinda an art-form to wring every bit of performance from your chip, and Very Satisfying.):
tomshardware.com (Probably the most in-detail)
anandtech.com (Concise, to the point)
No-One can just tell you what your particular chip will clock to. Mine will get stably to 5*100 (500) and unstably to 5.5*95 (522) where it MAY be able to attain if given peltier cooling. this is an AMD k6-3, and I imagine without on-die cache, you may be able to get higher.
I am currently using an Alpha cooler, which I greatly recommend... lowered my temp by 15-20 degrees F compared to my generic "heavy-duty" heatsink...
As with any addon for your computer... Research! I read up on heatsinks for a before I decided to get this one. it doesn't even feel warm to the touch after hard use. I'm sure I could sink all the excess heat from a peltier with this number...
I make money while I surf the net.. You can get paid to surf, too.
