Suggestion for good SIS 648 boards?

I read that SIS 648 boards can run DDR400 on them. Is that correct? Toms had one and that ran DDR400, but then FiringSquad tested one from MSI and that didn't run DDR400. What's the deal?

Are there any good SIS400 boards out there with good OC features? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if there are any SIS 648 mobos that CAN run DDR400. I got Asus, it boots with memory clock of 200Mhz, but Windows is not stable...
Let me know if you find any.

The SiS648 is not officially sanctioned to run at DDR400 only up to DDR333. However you can set the memory clock up to 200MHz and take your chances (if the BIOS allows you too). The problem seems that there is no offical spec for DDR400. Perhaps when the dust settles, this will be fixed. From what I have read, your success at using DDR400 is very memory module specific (and perhaps the phase of the moon too:)).
