yeh loco seems it gives the graphics cards the extra bandwidth to fly as in 3d03 thats about on par to what i was getting on the 975x which is 8x/8x, nice going there and thanks for sharing your experiences with the board , do you like the board and any other major differences you've noticed

@loc.o

You are it use the NB passive or wc?

[Zeus]

That's quite some difference!

Is it possible the quad is having an advantage over the dualcore because of the extra cache?

No wc.

Tried me E6600. Same max FSB on air as on all the other boards i have tried.

thanks loco , seems a good board and once a few bios updates come along it can only get better , i think the problem is p35 and the 965 was excellent anyway so x38 is an update rather than a massive upgrade , good inciteful posts loco anyway you know your way around the hardware
