I'm looking within the next few weeks to replace my 4-month-old Albatron PX845 PEV ProII. It's been a great board, and I've been very happy with it, but I'm selling it to a buddy's brother who is going off to school soon. He's getting a college system, and I have the itch to abuse my poor 2.4b even worse than I already do, so I'm looking for a good, fire-breathing dual-channel DDR motherboard.
The good price point right now seems to be where the Intel 865PE boards reside.
Now, I need at least 1.625v to run my CPU where it's at right now (2.93GHz.) I had been hearing that many of the Springdale motherboards were limited to a mere 1.6v for overclocking. To me, this is unacceptable. Unfortunately, this isn't something many reviewers touch on heavily, aside from a few choice sites. So I'm wondering, which of the below boards definitely have at LEAST 1.70v available in the voltage options?
1) Abit IS-7
2) Asus P4P800
3) Albatron PX865 PE Pro
4) Soltek SL86SPE/L
5) IWill P4SE
6) Chaintech 9PJL Apogee
A friends old IWill 845PE board has some crazy stuff up to 1.95v... I'm wondering if the P4SE is like this. I'm thinking Abit's options are pretty complete, too. Any experiences?
