You can't take 3 minutes of your time to post how well things are going with your board so far? I could see if it didn't work at all but refusing to post your experience because you can't figure out how to get 550 FSB? Come on...post your experience so far about the Extreme Formula at new egg's customer review. Is it stable at your current OC, etc? You could add that you are not successful getting 550 FSB with your CPU as of yet

I would do it but they want a cc to register and I'm not overly cool with handing out my cc number just to post on a forum

Anyone else getting prolonged boot times when using this board ? When I made the swap from the p5k deluxe to this I spend more time at the windows loading screen, before the windows loading bar would do about 3 revolutions with the p5k, now it does about 18 . Is there anyway to improve this ?

Yeah I get the same, Windows XP x64 here and it also takes a long time to boot. I don't know why, whether it's a driver thing or isn't the BIOS helping (0907). One thing's for sure, my Abit IP35 PRO boots up a lot quicker and the hardware is almost identical save for the graphics card and only 1 Seagate 7200.10 320GB drive (non RAID).

I got long loading screen in the beginning. After using TuneUp, PageDefrag and OODefrag and making system "fresh", loading screen does only 3 revolutions.
I also disabled unused windows services and use XP-Antispy ect.

I can understand that. New egg is a online retailer that has the option to leave feedback for it's products. However, I never had to provide my credit card information to leave feedback in the past. However, I have ordered from them before I left feedback. If there are others who have and would like to leave some feedback on this motherboard could you take 3 minutes to write a review?

Any ideas?

software voltage readings are all bollucks to begin with. The only way you're going to get a reading you can trust is to pull out a multimeter.
