Noob question on AMD 144 overclocking capabilities and pedigree.

[bettyswollocks1]

I'm new to all this, rarely finish a crossword and the likes. Please can someone shed some light on my predicament?
I've rushed out (carefully researched) and bought loads of goodies (pc bits) to the tune of £1,500.
I've bought an Opty 144 thinking I can become an overclocking guru...
Guess what?
I've just accused myself of not doing my homework as it's arrived with a CAGE ref (not cacje, cabne etc).
I've looked all over the tinterweb to see what on earth this chip is capable of... NOTHING. Not a sausage.

Can anyone help?
Has any one seen this one before? Should I bin it and get a 146? If so which is the stepping to look out for?

Thanks for helping me out so far.
Here is what it says on the chip:
AMD Opteron (no suprise there)
OSA144CEP5AT
CAAGC 0428WPMW
1067458G40073
On the box:
osa144atbox
It says its bin loc is: s07E (CAGE)
Have I a prehistoric chip here, I dunno. I'm dying to find out what it'll do though. All my other bits arrive today...

Oh, forgot to say.. Nikebee, I cant get a pic till I pinch a camera from my dad later...

It is a 940. Is that a show stopper as far as overclocking goes? I can feel an RMA coming on.

Thought so. Thanks. I'm off to kick my cat around the house for a bit and then order another that fits the bill. Trouble is I think I'll find the good ones next to the rocking horse sh** box.

Hmm. Another tree to bark up. I've just bought the DFI Expert and 2gig of mushkin redline... Will I be able to kick a 3700 and get similar results to the Opty?
