Yah it would be nice if they made my board more capable of overclocking my new Q9450. I can get it to 465x8 and it goes kapoot after that. I know it isn't the chip the chip is more then happy to go there. They need to fix the straps to. I can't get the 2.4b strap happy with performance level 6 for . The 2.66d strap will go there happily and it doesn't like anything else but the 6. I'm probably going to get an Asus motherboard next time if they don't come out with a solid bios soon.
