Anyone else blessed themself with a Northwood 2.0A and 4SDA - I'm in heaven building this for a guy I can tell you - memory bandwidth deluxe !
I never thought the Sis 645 and MUTioL would be this good but memory bandwidth outweighs that of any of the Socket A chipsets. This board's been out for a while, and I'm kinda wishing I'd had one before for myself, but only Northwood has really made it worthwhile - looks like me buying one methinks !
It's a shame I can't overclock this as it's a system build, but I've dabbled and knocked out the 2.66GHz at 133MHz FSB at 1.75v but not quite gotten full stability.
