The only version out is 1.04G, there is not a 2.xxx version of the board. That number being reported is based on CPU Microcode. As far as one board clocking better than another one that is due to a whole host of factors but as far as the boards are concerned, the most important difference is the quality of the IOH. The difference between a really good IOH and an average one is easily worth 10 Bclk.

Not part of this but another myth is that the board is tuned more for Gulftown than Bloomfield and that is false. The BIOS microcode takes care of the base settings for either CPU. The difference is that each processor family requires different tuning methods to reach certain levels.
