100.0 % of all nForce2 overclocks use PCI lock since nForce2 locks the PCI at 33 MHz, no matter what you change in BIOS.
AGP can be set to any frequency you like, regardless of your FSB setting, for example "locked" at 66 MHz, or you can overclock the AGP frequency without changing the FSB frequency etc...
But there is really no "lock", since all three frequencies, FSB/AGP/PCI are asynchronous and are set independantly of each other. There is no relation between them like on, for example, VIA boards which extract the AGP and PCI frequencies from dividing the FSB frequency.
