I went and bought this board about a month or so ago, and an AMD 3800 X@ cpu. Its not all that bad of a motherboard. It has a built in overclocking feature witch makes overclocking to 2.4ghz really easy. I tried the next preset setting, and the system didn't want to boot like that. Kinda think its the RAM, but oh well, I am very happy with the Motherboard and system in all.
