If you're talking about what i think you're talking about, DON'T TOUCH.

If you talking about the thing that increases or decreases what your bus operates at, it'll screw up the computer. It should stay at 66.666666666 for ever.

Yeah, people have tried changing it but it does not yield performance improvements. Rather you get system instability. Kindof like the HyperTransport bus on Athlon 64 processors, you just leave it at spec...

Agreed. This goes for the PCI-e bus as well. You will gain much better performance by overclocking your card using Coolbits or Rivatuner for nVidia cards or ATI Tools for ATI Video cards.

Well I am glad I listen to my fears most of the time. Seems kind of insain for Gigabyte to add overclocking support for HT, AGP and PCI buses then. I guess they want some people to keep buying new boards huh?

They are more there so you know that the busses are actually set to run at a specified speed. A lot of people like to set it to 67 MHz or something so they know the bus is locked.
