OCing a AMD Athlon XP 1800+

Hey guys, what is going on?
I am getting the Thermalright SLK 700 with YS Tech TMD 36CFM Fan.

Currently my temperatures are
64Celcius Idle CPU
40Celcius Case.

If I can get my CPU temperature down to 40-45 celcius, how much can I OC my 1800+?

I want to get the speed up to an even 2ghz.

Also any advice on how to do this would be lovely lol.
Got a Gigabyte GA-7VRX ver. 1.1 if that helps any.

i think you can enter the stepping information on the chip into the uamd tool's stepping decoder and it will show what your cpu type is.
