From what I've heard the quad-core overclocking and memory performance is not the best on this board but they are still working on bios tweaks - so there is still hope. If this hope has evaporated and/or there are new issues, then I'd like to know ASAP.
1. The quality of the board is excellent, all features work right out of the box, RAID, SLI, and audio are in total harmony.

2. The board screams with a 2MB Cache C2D, but do not expect overclocking over 500FSB with them, the board can do it at low multipliers, but the strap change at 501 just kills performance. Right now, my board is extremely stable at 475~485FSB, anything higher is not possible except for a CPU-Z screen shot.

3. The board had average memory performance when overclocking with the 4MB Cache C2D or Quad Cores, the EVGA has much better memory performance above 400FSB with these chips. There are also various FSB holes with these processors and particular memory settings. That said, DFI is working overtime on these issues.

4. I really like the board, it just needs some TLC within the BIOS. If you have a Quad Core or 4MB Cache C2D and an EVGA board, do not switch yet if benchmarking is important to you.
