They mentioned LV Xeons but not Prestonia Xeons 2.4>3.3GHz 24/7 on my Iwill DH800. Real men can overclock dual socket boards for twice the fun lol.
EVGA SR-2 comes to mind...The BIOS' I've seen for dual socket systems didn't/don't have any overclocking
settings. I'm amazed you found one, That was an expensive motherboard in its
day. Was it NUMA capable?

In some cases to be able to play at all. The better newer games always needed the latest and greatest hardware to play smoothly, and you could get some playability by overclocking.
For some it was to get smoother gameplay...nothing like moving your mouse and having to wait for the cursor or your aimpoint to move.
For others it is just about bragging rights
Duke Nukem 3D just ran smoother with a Pentium 233 overclocked to 262 especially with an overclocked TNT2 Ultra and a whopping 16mb EDO ram
I have a PIII 700E @ 1100 mhz with 256nb ram that quite happily runs games like Quake4 even though the minimum requirements say P4 2ghz with 512mb ram.
I need to get a new power supply to revive that old rig. It has NEVER been at stock speeds, and only saw 700mhz once and that on 1st bootup...after that it was 1050 and up.
Yup...The skulltrail was intel's first foray into the official world of overclocking...Intel had "relaxed" some settings on some of their cpu's, but even they realized that overclocking was now mainstream and people were paying top dollar for overclock friendly boards and processors.The Intel D5400XS Skulltrail was another (LGA771).
Ah the legendary 300A...I had one..never could get it to do much over 504 but it ran great at 450..I didn't want to do the hacking of the tabs to get the higher voltage needed to get over 504 mhz..
I wish the old CPU database that Skip setup was still around, It had quite a lot of historic overclocks on there
I miss Skip too, he was/is a great guy.
