So if you're finally thinking about taking the K10 plunge, or you are looking to get a little more out of your Phenom processor, this guide was written with you in mind.

Thanks for the props! The AMD OverDrive software is pretty good, there are many more options than available with nVidia, and it remains the only way I know of to adjust each core mulitplier individually. I still prefer to do my overclocking in the BIOS but the OD software can save time if making lots of little changes and then testing within Windows.
