Great board!

Comments: First you guys that are having trouble with dual channel. The directions are wrong. You need to put your DRAMS in every other slot like all NVIDA boards. This board runs dual channel GREAT! Secondly, if you want to up the FSB you have to drop HTT to 4 due to Hypertransport limitations. i.e. 1000 is the MAX well you might squeeze a little more than that ..but why? Finally get yourself some good tools to work with. Download CPUZ or SiSoftSandra to check the freg your memory is running at. The memory op speed is a function on the CPU mulitplier or the Hammer as this BIOS calls it. Example if your CPU mulipler is 11 and your FSB is 250 then set your Mem. Freq to 200. You'll get DDR 500 1 to 1 if your memory can handle it. Otherwise the memory dividers will start auto kicking in. Also you guys running 4 DRAMs no board will do 1T with 4 slots running. My Sytem: 3700 SD core @ 2.75 vcore 1.52(mine under volts pretty badly get CPUZ or something to check with or the hardware software shipped with the board isn't bad) 1 gig Ballistix DDR 500 Connect3D 800GTO (unlocked to 16 pipes 540/570) 2 80GIG Hitachi SATAII in RAID 0 350 Watt MATX power supply el cheap case I'm still freakin' out on how little this set up cost compared to how fast this baby is! I'm just a whisper under FX-57 performace and this entire system cost less than 2/3 of the price of that chip. AND IT ALL CAME FROM RIGHT HERE AT NEWEGG!

Oh Well It's Still a Good Deal

Pros: Just got this one today. It all depends on the stepping you get. They are all still a good deal for the money. 2.7 ultra stable . Water cooled 32C idle and 38C underload

Cons: CCBBE 0615 DPMW maxed at 2.75 Doesn't matter how much voltage I give it.. heat isn't an issue Just not capable of more than 2.78.. I gambled twice an both times I didn't get a good stepping.

Overall Review: For the money you still can't beat it..New Egg ROCKS! I had hoped for the big 3.0 with an X2..

Comments: This thing was a snap to assemble. I built it for my son's girlfriend. Slapped a Sempron 64 3000 in it. Upped the FSB to 225(I think it could have gone higher)...ZERO... issues. Running a cool 32C under a load. Great bang for the buck. Make sure the drive you by does have an eject button that is not flush with the drive. The external doors will be a pain if you don't. I used a Sony drive and it worked perfectly. AMD Sempron 64 3000 WD 80gig IDE Sony Combo Drive 512MB DDR 3200 Corsair Value Ram

Comments: I just installed this board. I am very impressed with this things ability to overclock my Barton 2500. Very smooth and fast. Memory timings are easy to set as well as VCORE etc. Well made board. I would give it a 5 but two things bother me with this board. First there is only one audio connection for a CD or DVD player onboard. Even some cheaper boards I have used provide this. Second, is an annoying thing in the documentation. The connections for the front panel for speakers i.e. a headphone jack are not marked + or - on the board or in the owners manual. I know this is very petty but enough for me not to give it 5 stars. All and all a great board even if you have no plans for OC'ing. Buy it and enjoy
