Welcome back!
You should check out the SR-2 threads to find out about OC potential, there should be some info around. k|ngp|n has been doing some crazy OC's on LN2 with his recently.
You may want to do some testing with what you want to do for folding. Since you have the 9800 GX2's, I'm sure you want to put them to work, but they may actually reduce your PPD. You will need to dedicate at least 2 or 3 threads to the GPUs, and that will reduce the potential PPD on the SMP. The PPD added by the GPUs needs to be more than the loss of PPD from the SMP to make it worth while. You will only know for sure how it will work out once you have the rig up and do your own testing. Also, my comments assume this is solely dedicated to folding. If you have other plans for this rig that necessitates the 3 GX2's, then go with your current plan.
