i'm not sure if PC3500 will be able to do this

What Nights said,3500 would get you 217 fsb if it goes what its rated for.Anything over that would be a plus.Do not think that would get you where your wanting to go.Could get some 4000 maybe

The man of steel said that

Hi,
Yes I noticed my error after I placed my order. Not to worry though as I have changed my mind as to what I am going to use the system for. I just ordered a Asetek VapoChill for my current Intel setup. Thanks for the info.

I highly doubt if the NF7-S could hit 235FSB, consider anything over 220 lucky. PC3500 copper can't do much beyond stock frequency, if you get gold or platinum edition they will do much more beyond stock.
