is the AMD athlon 64 3400 just as good for OCing as the fx-51?

well... not really. The 3400+ has a locked multiplier, while the FX-51 does not. So technically, the FX-51 is better at OCing because you can up your multipliers.

I've got an AMD 64 3200+, and that locked multi is a bit of a pain. I can only OC my CPU a couple hundred mhz. However, a recent revision of AMD 64 chips has been released, the "CG" revision, which supposedly can clock higher. I really don't know that much about the CG chips, but I'm thinking the FX-51 can still clock higher than it.

Can the FX-53 clock higher than the 51?

Yes

Awesome

the FX-53 is exactly the same as the FX-51, except that it runs stock at 2400 instead of the FX-51's stock 2200.
