3132 only has two ports doesn't it?

Also it seems weird to have that AT medal on the box since it was for the SLI-DR. Judging by the review you say it's a worthy successor, but if it wasn't that medal would be misleading. I've seen this on other boxes, companies putting all the awards they've gotten on other products instead of the one it's for. Damn marketing!

Love the review. Randi Sica really hit the points on what dear to me on the overclocking side. I never really care too much for benchmark if it within .5-3%, knowing overclocking 1-2mhz FSB could easily nerf any performance from board to board.

Look like an awesome board, will definately keep an eye on this one.

do you think that the CPU they use for their testing the maximum fsb at stock multiplier is now reaching its max. 246mhz seems to be the top. will we see 247?

Hi Fella's:)

Just wanted to stop in and say thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the review from an Overclockers perspective, and I'm also glad that Wesley asked me to review the board from that angle.

As far as the 4000+ San Diego I test with, it is only maxed at 12x246MHz FSB when running on custom watercooling(2952Mhz). This chip on single stage, 404A charged Phase Change will do close to 3200MHZ, which 1:1 would equal 12x266-267Mhz FSB.

Best regards,

Randi:D
