I think you are on to bit of a loser there in terms of overclocking. Also, those s939 athlons don't overclock very well even with a top-end motherboard.

Is your current performance not sufficient?

Those X2 3800+ overclocked very well from what I can remember.

Sorry, my bad. They do seem to overclock rather well - going up to 2.6-2.8GHz, which certainly isn't to be sniffed at.

To the OP: Unfortunately, if your motherboard doesn't allow you to change any of the meaningful settings then this is a bit academic. I wouldn't suggest investing in a new s939 board just to overclock - as you may as well just buy a new CPU as well.
