Well in the bios menu there is and option called Top Performance (the top right option in bios)...it doesnt seem to change any speed settings or anything. Can anyone enlighten me on what this does exactly and if I should or should not enable it!!!

thx to all in advance!

I recently just went ahead and used it to see what it did, and i seem to have gotten alittle bit better proformance from my hard drive configuration.

I no longer have that board because it would not allow to OC past 210mhz in the bios for a final clock rate of 2.32ghz! Now I was able to get to like 2.42ghz with the windows overclocking utility, but it wasnt the most stable thing I have ever seen. I bought the motherboard in my sig and it is able to reach up to 2.82ghz on it, I just like the overall setting and stability of the setting that my comp is on right now!

Best,
