2296Mhz on the NB.
I read in some forum or some website ( I cant rember if it was here or not) that there was theory that the NB was the Bottle neck in the proccessor for Overclocking and performance, since it locked at 9x in the 9500 and 9600 and 9600BE.
You can Change it in some of the High-end AMD 790 Mobos in the Bios, its a little tricky at first since you get your NB multi by dividing some two numbers... the New-er AMD OverDrive versions have that option but it does not work as of yet.
Unfortunately I cant experiment with this to see if It's as the theory claims "a Performance and OC bottle neck" an none seem to report on it so Far.
I think it is a Performance Bottle-neck but from my experience with the Bad 9500 phenom. I think the OC of the NB is affected by the OC or stability of all your CPUs. With all good cores I can reach 255Mhz stable compared to the 230Mhz.

sorry for rambling on about NB subject, but I think your question was a good excuse for me to talk about it.
