If you have any questions about it, just let me know.

Further: there are no 1/5 or 1/6 mults on this board. The PCI is locked at 33.3r Mhz, even if you change your AGP out of spec for some reason (benchmarking?). Voltage on CPU goes to 2.2V (calls out for a Prometia), RAM to 2.9 (dissapointing), and AGP to 1.8. This board should satisfy the most ardent overclocker among us.

Even though I had severe problems with mine at first do to a bitch of a BIOS, the new BIOSes are finally mature enough to use. I have swapped from an AVOID rating to a RECOMMEND.
Glad to hear about the BIOS update!

Are you assuming that because there is no 1/5 or 1/6 option in the BIOS, that the PCI is locked? Because it could be an automatic divider. How did you verify that the PCI freq. is 33 MHz? Software? Oscilloscope?
