Upgrading my friends PC, can't wait to see what this board/cpu/ram combo can do!

Aiming for as close as possible to 600fsb, 1:1 1200Mhz ddr2

talk about optimistic, that's what I posted in another thread yesterday.

I'm real exited about this thread, exellent intro and photos dinos my man.
Should be here in a couple'a'days.

Dinos, in your mind what did you imagine this board capable of?
I mean it's called EXTREME so it should really compete at the highest level right?
Just look at all that copper
Do you think an e8400 can or should hit 600fsb on air with this board?

if i don't hit 600 i will be disappointed put it that way
