Athlon 64 Chipset Performance Analysis
 

As the figures show, we are seeing only the smallest performance differences as the HyperTransport is slowed down. This means that the lower Hypertransport speed of the nForce 150 is not really any reason to reject it immediately. More puzzling is the fact that overclocking the HT speed has resulted in a lower score. We can only conclude that since neither the board nor CPU are designed for the higher speed so perhaps corruption is occurring but not badly enough to crash the system. It may well be a timing issue

can anybody confirm this "overclock HT -> lower performance" ?
