MadShrimps has done some overclocking of an Athlon 64 FX57.
The CPU maximum overclock while still remaining ?stable? enough to not crash the screen capture program was ~150Mhz shy of 4ghz:
You can pick one of them up here starting at $810.

We have been overclocking a Socket AM2 Athlon 64 3000+ with the stock from the box heatsink and we have enjoyed the following results.
Yes, we are sneaking up on a 1GHz overclock with the stock non heatpipe cooler! Ignore the X2 CPU-Z put in as it is not a dual core CPU. Expect a full review very soon.

Hardware Overclock has posted this Opteron 148 overclocking guide. You can pick it up here for $279. This is the Socket 939 version, and you may likely need a translator.
The primary standard of gaging PC performance used to be the CPU's megahertz (Mhz), or gigahertz (Ghz) rating. Yet with the release of the new A64 line of CPU from AMD, the future of computing has (at least for now) moved away from the Mhz/Ghz race. Essentially, strict Mhz/Ghz figures just don't mean as much today as they did yesterday. However, the art of overclocking still exists with 64-bit processors, in support of achieving even better performance. This article is intended to showcase the overclocking ability of the AMD Athlon64 Dual-Core 4400+.
Dual Core Overclocking Performance

Legion Hardware has an article on dual core overclocking performance. They test out the Athlon 64 X2 4400+.
Although the AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual-Core processors are far superior performance wise, their ridiculously high price tags place them out of reach for most. The dual-core move has been a real turn around, never before has Intel offered better value solutions when compared to AMD. In the past AMD has been well known amongst enthusiasts for offering well priced processors that are capable of slaughtering the Intel offerings. When overclocked the difference between AMD and Intel?s dual-core processors is quite minimal.
I'm pretty sure you are paying for the performance, and the real dual core solution.
