They say overclocking AMD is not very good...
the idea is that while Intel can put some reserve on their
chips (they're the best anyway) and allow for some safety
zone (which is used for overclocking), the AMD have to push
their chips to the limits to catch up.

Check www.tomshardware.com and www.anandtech.com for overclocking
articles.
