Can anyone show me your record of overclocking an A64?
Motherboard? voltage? and temperature?

Remember you only need to get it to like 2.2 GHz, for your Athlon 64 to beat a 2.8 GHz Barton, maybe even a 2.9 GHz Barton.

i had a 3000 in a kv8-max3 and it was running at 2.3, with an xt i was getting 7200 in 03 and 22000 in 01 without tweaking,
it was much more responsive than my old [email protected],
I now have a dtr 3400 which should oc quite well, but for some reason i cant get it to work, so i rma;s it and i'll let you know how it goes once the replacent gets here.

the only thing is that all but one mobo doesn't have a working pci/agp lock. the only nforce 3 150 board with a working pci/agp lock is in the link below

I thought so too but then we found more + Aopen may not be a good overclocking board at all (when compared to them), click here:

newegg has a chaintech nf3 250 for $99, it should have a working agp/pci divider and better performance.
or had anyway it appiers to be out of stock, but they have another 250 board for 180
