    it should be oc able. how good an overclocker........ no one knows.

    it runs DDR2100 ram dual channel for bandwidth of 4.2 ghz(possible).

    the DDR should be the same kind or it will run both at the speed of the slower module.

    Basically the board should be able to oc at least a little. Depending on where you can get the fsb stable the DDR will go up too, just like a single channel board. P4's need bandwidth and dual channel ddr should perform real close to RD ram a lower price.

    Regardless we'll find out in a few weeks and they'll only get better.

    as long as the board oc's well, the added bandwidth will make a noticeable difference. Look at those RD ram boards. I'm thinking 2 sticks of corsair 3200c2 for a total of 512 will do it.

    Just waitin to see what kind of marks the new boards get.

    well, my current mobo (Albatron PX845PEV Pro running XMS3200 at 421Mhz) is already scoring
    3194 in ALU memory and 3208 in FPU memory benchmarks in Sandra.

    This new technology doesn't impress me much. Not to mention you can ONLY run a 1:1 memory/CPU ratio ;-( no DDR333 operation without 166Mhz FSb which may or may not be possible on this chipset or on particular boards.
