Point 1: Why did you do it? This is one of the best systems I have ever seen a man I know to have.
Point 2: A64 are not as good at overclocking as non-64 new ones, aka Barton. So don't try to pump one up as high as it goes.
Point 3: Forget about OCing the CPU, you only gain 1% of performance for every 10% of the clock speed you add. If you focus on efforts on the FSB, RAM and CPU bus speeds, you'll get about 1% to every 3% you add of original speed. And keep them working at same speeds, set them to the speed of the lowest component.
