It's not surprising that hard drive scores went down when overclocked, it's common knowledge that the IDE subsystem doesn't like to be overclocked. The AGP portion does get a healthy boost from the overclock.

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

I'm not a big fan of SiSoft Sandra myself but it seems that motherboard review would be complete without them. I'm particularly impressed by the memory bandwidth. Not bad at all!
