edit: to those talking about cold boot and the likes, hmm.. if so, it'd be great. I read from asus that the double booting is to trigger the southbridge or something along those lines. And I've found on my p5b vanilla that it can do 500fsb fine at 1333strap, but most of the time, it won't boot up, unless after a failure, I hold the power button to turn it off, wait 5 seconds, and try again, simulating a false boot. Works everytime. But it'd be great if this could do it without even needing to double boot.
Also, this thing is on 1066 strap, which I don't need to say is absolutely impeccable. Honestly, I'd rather 400fsb on 1066 strap than 1333 strap at 500. You should see the latencies and cycles on ram access with mbench. I think it speaks for itself.
It would make this even greater if there's the ability to change vdimm / vcore in windows, like the ds3. Although I absolutely loathe that board, easytune is great in that regard. And also, I'm hoping for clockgen support. Now, I'll say that I don't do changes in windows normally, but in the experimentation phase, it's a whole hell of a lot easier to do testing from within windows rather than setting in bios, booting, testing. Even if it means I crash out of windows a lot.
