hey, no risk of a flame-war, I'm not passionate about this issue or anything, just stating my experience.

The whole ordeal was partially my fault as I didnt do my research on the baord. Only after did I find out that the 333mhz ram FSB is actually slower then 266 on the SIS chipset. Or that this particular board doesnt allow Core volatge adjustement.

Only other board I've had for a prolonged time is the Abit BF-6, and I have nothing but great things to say about it, what a board.
