Should I try to push the AGP speed or leave it at 66MHz?

Actually, this depends on the system components and the quality of the video board. If you'll think back a while, you might remember when locking the AGP bus at 66.6MHz was simply not an option. At that time it was often the choke point of your overclocking when you're peripherals wouldn't perform at the higher speeds... not the memory and processor.
You will likely have no problems by boosting the AGP speed upwards of about 69-71MHz, but that isn't a guarantee. Also, it will be pot luck as to whether your system will make use of this or not, so check for system stability first, then if stable run some benchmarks to see if there is any improvement.
Good luck!Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Increasing the AGP bus gives you no gain in performance. So i do not see why you would in danger you hardware. Well it gave no performance when i tested it out on my mobo.CPU: Opteron 165 @ 311x9 - 2817.8 mhz - 1.47v
Mobo: Abit KN8-SLI
