Mine is set at 66. Do i need to change this? Can I leave it alone? Im not OC'ing my GPU. I have my A64 3000+ winchester OC'd at 277 HTT x 9 = 2.5Ghz with 3x HT multiplier and 3-4-4-8 1T 1:1. Prime95 and memtest86 stable. 31C idle and 41C load.

Do NOT change that frequency from 66 or 67. That will cause a helluva lot of instability (the lack of PCI/AGP bus locks is why the early K8T800 boards couldn't overclock at all).

While some video cards can take an extremely high AGP bus speed, you gain absolutely nothing by running it faster than 67 Mhz. I had a GF2 that ran fine on a AGP bus of 89 Mhz (my BX board didn't have a 1/2 AGP divider for 133 FSB). On boards that have a AGP lock, all you're gaining is instability problems.
