They can be overclocked, but remember that the 2.67 value applies to EACH core (so you are getting something closer to 5.3Ghz with multithreaded apps and when running multiple applications).

Yes, Intel Core 2 Duo processors can be over-clocked. Specifically, I know a couple of people who are running the 2.66GHz E6700 at 3.5GHz.
Also, this guy on techspot is successfully running his E6700 at 3.66GHz. Check out http://www.techspot.com/article/13-intel-core2duo-e6300-e6700-overclocking/
From this article, it sounds like 3.66GHz is probably the most you can get out of a E6700 without causing some kind of instability. Of course, this may vary somewhat from part to part and board to board...
Good Luck!

YES! But you need a good enthusiast board and good RAM to do it.
Here are some of my idols w/ the X6800 and the E6600:
