That's a lovely overclock mate, well done. I sort of wish i'd gone for a 146 myself.

I've just managed to get a 2.6GHz stable out of a 144 Opteron, first overclock. Tis a nice overclock that, oh so nearly 900MHz hehe. 
personally i would prime that. just because it can do a 32mb superpi (not exactly hard im afraid) and plays your games, doesnt meant its stable and therefore not a legitimate overclock 
. Of course this is just my humble opinion, congrats on 2.9 tho

got my 146 cabye straight up to 3ghz the day i got it primed all nite too I actually built a whole new rig round it (epox mobo, bh.5 ram, 680/680 x1800xl etc). managed to get 9480 3dmark05 out of it. Tbh though i was quite underwhelmed by the whole experience. Didn't notice that much difference to my 2.4ghz 3400+ system so i ended up selling.
Btw priming is a good idea....just leave it on overnight if you can't be bothered.
