jtrouma: I'll try to get the exact wording from the BIOS for you tonight.

newbish: there are absolutely no dividers in the NForce2 platform. It is an impossibility. Hypertransport doesn't use them when communicating with the PCI components. The PCI is locked at 33.3 Mhz, and that's that. AGP can be clocked up, and some boards may ALLOW you to overclock stock PCI settings, but standard settings at any FSB are going to be stock AGP and PCI speeds.

I have a toy HDD that corrupted at 204 FSB on a 1/5 divider on my MSI, and it runs strong at 215 on this with no bumps at all. The reason is that PCI is locked.

This will be confirmed by testing all over the net shortly, you wait and see. Any mention from EPoX that they use dividers and not PCI locks is absolute rubbish, because it is impossible on this chipset.
