. No normal hard drives(like your Maxtor and Western Digital) could possibly take a 43mHz PCI bus. There's a 1% that its actually just using a 1/4 divider to run the PCI bus below spec. But I doubt this, and it looks your particular board has a PCI lock. I'm also beginning to believe that just about all MSI nForce2 boards do. Looking at the Anandtech article, there is no evidence contrary to this, other than MSI's statement, which the moderators at their forum deny. I don't know anything about MSI's line of motherboards. Abit, for example, had three revisions prior to their Ultra 400 offering. Even their very latest pre-Ultra, the 1.2, had some corruption issues at high front side buses. The first ones were hard pressed to even reach 190. Perhaps MSI's have gone through a few revisions, only the first of which lacks a PCI lock, and perhaps is very rare. You don't see many NF7-S revision 1.0 these days, either. Could someone here clarify whether or not these boards have revisions? And which revisions do people own?
