Well, when it came to overclocking P4's and XP's, I knew my buisness, but I want to overclock an a64 now. I have an XPC with a 2800+, and I would like some help.
First, I tried 220x9(stock multi) with the ram locked at 200mhz. It wouldnt post. 210x9 was stable. Temperatures are fine. Now it gets complicated. I have an Nforce3 150 based board, which means no pci lock. Yet I can set the pci bus to whatever I want, in 1mhz increments. So does this mean this board does have pci lock? Also, about the HT bus. Will I have to lower it when I overclock, or is it fine? I can force 4x HT(800/1600mhz) but it performs worse than 3x. A little help please? I havnt felt like a noob in a long time....
