    Keep in mind they make very low margins on the lower spec boards...they do NOT want enthusiasts buying them really...they want you buying ROG boards etc
    Why do you think I busted out my BIOS modding tools? I was all too well aware of Asus pulling crap like this, and tbh when I bought the P5Q Pro it was around Ģ100 before postage, so not exactly cheap for a mobo. Asus especially have very poor comprehension of that lower-mid highend boards will net them the most money. I have only ever ONCE bought an uber board - Asus Crosshair, BUT, it just looked fancy. Didn't exactly have anything I hadn't seen on other, CHEAPER boards. Now with my skills applied to BIOS 703\4\7 (depending what mobo you own) the board I have at least has never clocked better. 1206MHz memory frequency rock stable, before nomatter what I modded any BIOS that had that pesky CPU Margin Enhancement I couldn't crack 1066 stable even though I could boot much higher frequencies (1200+)
