What games are you trying to run? Overlcoking these cpu's is nrealy impossible and even if you get it to 2ghz the performance increase will be minimal.

It will depend on the board and memory and cpu cooler. Some boards wont allow overclocking, some do and it varies from board to board.

It's gonna be like my Llano apu. It has a locked multiplier so your only option is to overclock the FSB (BLCK). The memory, pci, memory, and various chips. Something crashing will be what limits your overclock.

-The first thing to do is to manually drop the memory speed. So keep the timings for stock 1600 ddr3 (for example) but manually drop the speed to 1333. (Start off with the lowest speed it will go to then once you figure out the cpu's max speed you can increase the memory speed) You can increase the memory voltage a tiny bit. On my llano apu it ends up at 1800 or so.
Disable the onboard IGP if you can, it will save some power so there is less heat.
Increase the cpu voltage a bit but don't go overboard.
Disable any onboard stuff you don't need like say the printer port, ect. The less stuff you have to crash during overclocking the better.

It looks like the multiplier is locked at 21X so it's FSB all the way.
2.7GHZ is a decent increase from 1.6GHZ. A extra 1.1GHz should help.
