    Until you actually drop a chip into it, that 420 limit is nothing but a myth.

    True but the maxximus II makes that myth sound believable

    Are you trying to say that the Maximus Formula only does 420FSB... I highly doubt that. I used to own a Rampage Formula with a Q9450 (8x multi), and I was able to do 494MHz FSB stable.
    Asus Rampage II Gene | Core i7 920 | 6*2GB Mushkin 998729 | BFG GTX280 OCX | Auzentech X-Fi Forte | Corsair VX550
