All Athlon 64's are multiplier locked on the high end, but it doesn't matter. A 4000+ will have a multiplier of 12x200 for a default speed of 2400MHz. Raise the FSB clock to 233 and then you have 12x233 for 2800MHz if you think it'll run that fast. It and the memory sub-systems, the side-effect of clock-locking. Better make sure that your peripherals such as SATA drives and AGP run at the "66MHz" fixed clock frequency if you overclock the FSB. Probably not, so chose a number in between, say 217 for about 2600MHz. Now you've got just a little better than an FX/57. ......actually FX-55. FX-57 if it ever sees the light of day ( and not swamped by X2 silicon-demand ) is expected to be 2.8 or 3.0GHz BTW, the FX-55 San Diego, 90nm SSE3 is now available at Newegg. Only a mere $981...... Highly likely to overclock nicely. Runs a lot cooler than the 130nm version. For me, I'll keep my fingers wrapped very tightly around my upgrade money until the dual-core X2 shows up.
