Overclocking an Intel??

I just bought a Core 2 Duo and an Intel mobo combo package. I know that Intel mobo's aren't traditionally the greatest for OC'ing, but there is a small set of three jumper pins, and the diagram says the following:
1. Jumper pins 1 and 2 = normal
2. Jumper pins 2 and 3 = Customization
3. Jumper off = Recovery

So does #2 "config" mean that I can overclock on the Intel board??
Also a little side q, are they simply not putting IDE ports on motherboards anymore? I have 6 SATA's, but unless I'm blind I don't see an IDE.
Mobo: Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH
Thanks to all.

?????? that makes no sense. I may have once been but not now. Amd has pretty much taken over the server market and are now reaching out to big company's such as Dell. Also, Intel's cpu's are the best for gaming right now, while Amd owns the low end. ($0-$130) Do not make comments that are not supported except but by your own biased opinions.

Did you motherboard come with a manual? That would be the first place to check for info about the switches.

Also, Your IDE connection is right above the 6 SATA ports. Here is the image I'm looking at.

Um, no. AMD is still going to focus on mainstream computers, server processors, as well as gaming.

ATI isn't just for gamers you know, they make workstation cards.

Yes it did, but what I wrote is all the info it gave me (gotta love that) and I guess that IDE issue was a idiot move, I was staring right at it, and just didn't see it. Hate when that happens.

this used to be somewhat true, hence my laptop specs in my sig., but the core 2 is now dominating the gaming market. Accept the truth...

You dont overclock via jumpers on the new Intel motherboards, it's all done in the BIOS. It sounds like you're referring to the clear CMOS jumper.

so am I! haha i have an FX-60, I'm just saying as far as pure specs the C2D does seem to be the best right now. AMD still rocks though. :)

And Here's the picture spacedude posted, with the jumper pins circled. Maybe this will help ...

It would seem to me that the only way to find out would be to look at reviews of the board, or just try it out yourself. Go on. Overclock it, and see it the jumper configuration changes anything.
