    I have a full set of CF results on Commando with dual core at 3460mhz and 4400mhz. I wil try to compare them tonight with the quad at 3460 and only 2 cores enabled. I am a bit too bussy at the moment to test a lot, sorry for that.

    I only have 1 quad and only used it on this board. Max for 1M is 470FSB for now but thats most likely due to the cpu itself.

    thanks loco i know its hard to get on it takes a few days to get used to a new motherboard as well, i am not sure whether to plump for this board or wait doesn't seem to be much quicker the board itself that is, my e6850 is benchable at 4ghz plus on the old faithful p5w-dh which still is a quick board clock for clock (no good for quad though)

    Nice board. Would love to see some 3D benches with this board including 2 HD2900XT's since I got 2 of those card hooked up on a P5K Deluxe.
    The thing I'm realy interested in is the performance gain of two 2 full 16X PCI-e lanes since the P5K series only support one 16X and one 4X when using CF.

    For now the results are verry promising
