the system is not booting due to power-saving measures triggered by exceeding the 2.4ghz overclock limit. temperatures remain normal at that speed.

Some motherboards have the clock genereator chip locked to allow very little or no increase in FSB. It's very common for a 333 FSB motherboard to only allow 340 FSB. My Optiplex 380 with G41 chipset is like that. My Q9505S only goes from 2.83GHz to 2.88GHz.
I couldn't find much info. on that specific MB.

But it looks like it supports up to 95W CPUs, and LGA771 Xeon swaps.
For $15-$20 you could get up to 3GHz performance.
Here's the LGA771 swap page.

X3*** Xeons are LGA775 already and should run. be sure you have the latest BIOS for your MB.
Here are the CPUs I think will work for that...

Consider boosting the voltage. When overclocking FSB, it might be beneficial to lower the DRAM multiplier to maintain RAM performance near its optimal levels. There are numerous factors in FSB overclocking that require adjustment.
