One of the best boards ive ever owned as far as that goes.
Just my inductive guess. I could be wrong, but that is what it feels like to me.
On X2's this is true, it is coming out to be a great board. The Phenom needs more volts and it should be an o.k. board on it. I can hit 2.48 100% stable with the Phenom now. I can also now get my ram to 920mhz(all it can take). The Phenom will go a little higher but at the cost of to much ram performance to be worth it.

Justapost, I found that up to 1.35v on the nb helped, and 1.4 the system would not boot. For initial playing a nb multiplier of 6 worked and nothing lower, going lower required using the cmos jumper. I have not tried lower than 6 after changing other settings. I also see the system was stable down the an ht frequency of 600, and ~at 200!! That surprised me, the board shows promise on the quad if the bugs get worked the rest of the way out.
