I was wondering if I overclock the said processor, what will be the maximum i can OC at? 3.2ghz and can OC at 4.40ghz. As for cooling, I have a fatass heat sync from 2008; that's as good as my cooling gets. Any ideas how much I'll be able to overclock at regularly without damaging the processor?

 
The highest I've seen so far is about 4.8GHz. It really depends on your luck with the chip 'lottery'.
The other thing to look at is how much are you willing to spend to get that higher speed. At some point it will become cheaper to use the money on a higher end CPU instead.
