The max3 has a sucky 5:4 divider problem where the pc will not boot over a certain fsb level, for me its 285. WizardB has the problem, and I believe a few others here have it to

I am going to wait till early next week for a bios to be released and if it isnt, then its the P4C800-E for me :thumbsup:

Like The Dude, I have a stack of Abit boxes and the last Asus board I owned was the P4PE, and I returned it the next day cos I hated it so much.....but from what I have seen, the P4C800-E aloows higher OCs and appears to be more stable than the current Max3 Abit is offering.....

Wonder if its the actual board, or just a bios is needed.....time will tell
