It seems to be common to get the 2.0ghz chips like 3200+ to 2.2ghz.
Presumably the rating then would be 3400+ or maybe 3500+.

BTW, it appears the Athlon64 ratings are more accurate than the Barton PR
ratings when compared to the newer P4s, so this is doubly good.

It's hard to tell at the moment, but remember that 100Mhz on the A64 is
like 200MHz on a P4, so it won't take as much actual MHz speed to increase
performance. And don't forget that the A64 has a locked multiplier, so the
FSB is the only way to overclock it. The FX series is not multiplier
locked from what I hear.
