If applying based on marriage to a US citizen, you can apply as early as 90 days before the third anniversary of getting your green card. The exact date is on your green card, it should not just say February 2011, rather it should say a complete date, e.g. February 15th, 2011.

Add three years to that date, subtract 90 days (not three months) and you have your eligibility date.

If you're not applying based on marriage, then it's the same thing except 5 years, not 3.

I suggest you start reading official documentation related to citizenship, this stuff is all clearly explained by USCIS.

Form M-476 (A Guide to Naturalization) is particularly useful.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/M-476.pdf

I suggest you read all of it, but start with page 54 as there is a worksheet to complete to verify your eligibility.
