this whole oc is so new to me. im hoping you have the same setup as mine so i dont totally destroy the setup.
what i have:
msi K9N Platinum
amd am2 3800
pqi ddr2 667 pc2 5400

thanks!

Lower your HT multiplier, lower your RAM speed, and raise your HTT/FSB. That's all there is to overclocking an Athlon 64.
