Will socket AM2 bring an end to cheap overclocking?

[GuitarDaddy]

With AMD's A64 series having a top locked multi, will a 333mhz HTT allow any headroom for increasing HTT? Or will the FX series chips with the unlocked multi become the only real option for overclockers?

I believe AMD always intended the FX series to be the chip of choice for enthusiasts/overclockers and it likely ticks them off to see people buying bottom of the line A64's and clocking them to FX speeds.

I would tend to agree, but i recently saw a post by Sentential in this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=28&threadid=1779454&enterthread=y

Now if he's actually basing his comment on what he's seen the AM2's do so far, then things might be more interesting than i'd thought...

Initially this will probably be the case until DFI and others come out with boards that can hit higher HTT numbers.
