Overclocking on the Athlon 64 is more complicated than on other architectures because of the backplane design and the often misunderstood relationship between the LDT and HyperTransport bus. When overclocking, oft-repeated is that "turning down your HT link speed has little effect on performance", or that "running with a memory divider is for weenies". As was the question with our Multimeter vs. Motherboard article, I had to ask myself "Has any of this ever been quantified and published?"

sooooo basically i'm doing it right?
original settings for my 3400+ are 12 X 200 HTT
I set it to 12 X 217 HTT (which is the max until my ram goes coocoo) and I didn't raise voltages yet .....
