Athlon 64 at 500MHz FSB!

Today’s Athlon 64 processors uses a 200MHz FSB, which is a fifth of its HyperTransport-bus at 1.0GHz. This makes the processor run at the same bus as today’s DDR-memories at 200Mhz (DDR400). The DDR-technology have developed further though and even if they’ve had to surrender to aggressive timings there are DDR1-memories specified to DDR600 (300MHz bus).
We have already seen many overclockers reach well beyond 300MHz FSB on their Athlon 64-processors thus we knew there was potential for some really high busspeeds.
But over at the French hardwaresite x86-secret we saw something really scary.

Namely a an overclocker that has managed to push his Athlon 64 3000+ (Winchester 90nm) to amazing 500MHz FSB. We are talking about a 150% increase of the processor’s busspeed!

Unfortunately I don’t understand a word of French, but if someone could translate x86-secrets comments it would be highly appreciated.
