how does that badboy perform?do u have one?
using a 'b' chip and the 4:5 divider doesn't work so well when overclocked. (might be my 1gig of ram)
the board works good with a 'c' chip.
beta bios' are available which give better volts than the other canterwoods.
i didn't get any extra's like firewire ports. i guess this is why its cheapest fully featured canterwoods. i mean its nearly as cheap as the plain IC7!
sometimes i wonder as to why its so cheap!
if you like your raid hardrives, then you'll be pleased there are 6 ide channels and 2 raid sata ones. tis the only mobo to feature onboard raid5.

the real question is not "4pca3+ v ic7", but "4pca3+ v p4p800". i am going to wait for this board to come out to decide between this and the p4p800, which is the best right now.
