Overclocking A64 very different from Athlon XP?

I'm thinking of jumping the boat and getting an Athlon 64, but it seems to me that overclocking an A64 is quite a bit harder. I guess the thing that throws me of is what is hyper transport? How does that affect my overclock and or CPU speed?

The other thing I'm slightly confused about is with the AXP, it was often discouraged to run the FSB out of sync with the RAM, but with the A64's, I'm getting the impression that it is a good idea to run a higher FSB and run the RAM out of sync, is that true? I figure that's the only way ppl get 365mhz FSB on their DFI NF4's without getting some space age RAM.

I guess the last tidbit is how does the S939 A64 3000+'s overclock? What's usually the max voltage you would put through there? And if I have 2 sticks of 256 and 1 stick of 512, can I use it like that? or do I have to use it in Pairs?
