I'd say save up for the whole new build, it doesn't seem worth it overclocking that thing or upgrading the mobo for such outdated technology...

Try a lower multi and a higher FSB - sometimes they like to clock on a lower multi.
What strap (if your mobo tells you) are you running for your RAm/FSB?
What voltage options do you get?
Id say you dont have FSB and NB voltage and thats whats letting down your OC......my E2220 Oc's like a champ but my old G31 mobo would only get my E7200 to 3.4Ghz where my P5Q took it to 4.1Ghz

Thats the point of overclocking - to make slower hardware go faster to get more use out of it.

Whats the point in getting the best comp and overclocking it? (other then benching)

1) Can't change multi.
2) Cant change voltage - except DRAM Voltage
3) Whats a strap?

What he's saying is, overclocking won't get you very far on your current system. You could just upgrade your motherboard, but then the rest of your system will still be out of date.
It might be best to simply build a new rig. Someone suggested an Athlon II based system earlier and that would be the way to go if you're on a tight budget.

he can't get it to overclock... it doesnt seem worth it to buy a new motherboard, thats spending money for performance gain, overclocking is supposed to be at no cost, if he'll be spending money why not just get the new cpu and motherboard for a massive performance gain instead of just the slight performance gain in overclockability of the new motherboard

How about wanting more performance and enjoying the process?
