nothing for canada again. yay i really wanted that
This board is not a good overclocker at all. Very, Very finicky at best. Great at default speeds though.
Would this be able to get a E6400 up to 3.2 ghz at 400fsb?
yeah its a good mobo for the price, mybe not for the extreme overclocker, but it has adecent overclock you have a sli option, also according to xbitlabs.com (which was the only good review site that i could find) they said an abit rep contacted them:I forgot to mention: dual core oc better on these boards than quads do. I'd say it's entirely possible to get it 3.2 with enough tweaking. You may need to do a volt mod: FYI.
OMG I will by anything and everything with the name Fatal1ty. he is so 1337. gg!!!1!11!!11!!
with the 3870x2 you would be fine as the pcie slot would function at 16x, however in SLI each slot would function at 8x, in reality you would see little loss of performance. However if your going to buy a "NEW" video card I would not start with this board.Also, anyone know what the deal is on 8X vs. 16X SLI? I think this board only supports 8X, and I want to make sure not to handicap a pair of 8800 GTS 512MB or 3870X2.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Why would it be a bad board to SLI a newer card?
Basically, I have a G92 8800 GTS right now and I want something that would let me add another 8800, or switch over to ATI and double up on the 3870X2. I'm hesitant to spend a lot because I don't want to invest in a board that might not be able to use the next gen of processors. I'd rather get something as cheap as possible that could accomodate the E6400 up to 3.2ghz and the cards I plan on using, then buy a nice motherboard and do a full rebuild when there is something out that is worth upgrading my e6400 to.
Do the SLI boards even support Crossfire? I'm not sure the 3870's would work in Crossfire...might need an intel board for that.
My HeroWho is this Fatal1ty guy anyway?
Anyone know how does the board take 16gb or 32gb RAM (according to clubIT) when most standard ATX boards are usually 8gb?
according to Abit it supports 32gb of memory. i had to hunt all over abit to get detailed specs. as the default page has just some general info, but after checking the fatality links 4 times, i spotted it.
