Hexus.net have posted their review of nVidia's newest chipset the nForce3 250! the article looks at overclocking the nForce3 chipset as Nvidia have added a working PCI / AGP lock to the board! Here's a snip.
Since the introduction of the AMD Athlon 64 processor the overclocking community has, as ever, been keen to see just how far these fast processors will go. Progress has been slow and frustrating as both the VIA K8T800 and the nForce3 150 chipsets do not lock the PCI bus. This means that increasing the effective front side bus frequency affects not only the CPU and main memory, but also any peripherals connected to the PCI bus, since it's derived from that CPU driven frequency, itself derived from the HTT clock.
