Unless you really know what you're doing with overclocking, or are willing to risk frying the CPU and maybe some other parts of the computer, it's something best left alone.
If the system seems to be running slower, do an audit of programs you have running, and shut down any you really don't need. Also be sure to check for all types of malware.
Finally, it's Athlon, no second "A", kind of like a cross between Marathon and Athlete.
I've had the processor for about a year now and it's been doing a fine job, except now that I"m using it more and more heavily its been slow.. so in all I want to know how to overclock the sucker because from what I hear thats what AMD athalons are for right?

2.6 gigs of DDR ram
Asus A8v motherboard
sound blaster x-Fi
nVidia 7800 gt oc
520w power supply
