However, unless you have a really cheap motherboard that doesn't support manually specifying the FSB, why would you bother?

Well you're talking about a stripped down Conroe that was probably binned in some way. Going from 1.6GHz to 2.13GHz is a pretty big jump, percentage-wise. 33% is a really excellent overclock. I had an E2160 that would do 333 for a 3GHz clock speed with a slight voltage bump, but it was a very rare find.
