The best OC you can get with an 'A' core (even if it is a DLT3C) stepping is at best 300mhz though they are unreaible.
I have a 2000+ A core (normally 1667mhz) and I cannot however hard I try get a stable OC past 1833mhz and an even remotely stable OC past 2gig.
unless you are getting this CPU for free or so dirt cheap it doesn't matter if it fries get the barton. You'll be able to at the worst have a high clock than the 1800.
If it was a 'B' core though... that would be a different story.
