I was in a bookstore today and I saw MaximumPC had a review on this board...the first Intel reference board to actulally have overclocking options

I just read Hard's review on it. It doesn't have overclocking features, just "performance tweaks".

Really? Odd...

Motherboards.org has a great review on it.

They mention the jumpers that are used to increase performance (4% and no more).

so?

so how is the chipset? I am getting an 856pe right now... i would like to know how it is...

Didn't the 845pe have a "turbo" mode which increased performance by 4% or so

did you see the size of the North Bridge heatsink?
the NB must get fairly hot at 800MHz.

That's what I was looking at also. It's almost the size of the standered P4 heatsink.
