What are they doing to this board?
As the host for our project we have Intel's own motherboard, D975XBX, nicknamed "Bad Axe". Bad Axe was partly one of the first motherboards to officially support Intel's new processors and partly one of the first motherboards from Intel that allowed significant overclocking. It's not really "Plug 'n' Play" though, but to activate all of these settings you had to move a jumper on the motherboard. This might not sound all that bad, but Intel chose to make it a bit tricky by not soldering any pins for you place the jumper on. Time to bring out the soldering iron and fix this.
Here is the Link to the story. This is a new one that I have not seen before. If anyone knows what the jumper issue is plasee advise.
