Do you guys think the P5B will hit 400?
I don't expect to overclock more than 3.6 with my E6600.

It says the BIOS allows tuning from 100 to 400. I think I saw it go there somehwere on the OC forum.
Hit 398.....Quote:

how well does this board overclock?? does it have vdroop problem like P5W DH or FSB wall like DFI infinity??
Abit has been selling cheaper lately, when compared with Asus and Intel.
Perhaps the AB9 and AB9 pro will be much easier on the wallet? I also heard that Abit AW8D is a great OCer, so hopefully the AB9 is just as good. I want Abit to be like how they were back in the Northwood days.

around july 23rd to the end of the month is what we have heard.......Quote:

Damn, 150 and only 400 fsb. I would go for the P5B if only it allowed for ATLEAST 450 fsb. Guess i will wait and see what the AB9 does..Quote:

I guess you agree with me... Junkabyte.
I still think this board is probably the best option at the moment (for me anyway) only because I am certain I'm will be switching mobos 3 months down the line (lol).Quote:

Yeah but notice they said they were using stock cooling because they wanted to see a result representative of an "out of the box" set-up.Quote:

For how much more vs $144 shipped?Quote:

I think this board is the "sleeper" because it has some nice features nobody is mentioning like solid capacitors and other things.
Since I am not planning on running dual cards I'd rather use the extra $115 I'm saving an just get a better memory kit and/or processor.
ewiz has that board but cheaper than newegg

Thanks! That was enough incentive for me to order it. I'll get my "ultimate" board later in 3-4 months or so when I have a better idea on which one really is the best.Quote:
