there is a slight problem... i went back to the anandtech article on the nforce 4 family and they had this to say...

"nForce4 - the basic value chipset for 939 and754. This is the chipset that you will likely find in Socket 754 and low-end Socket 939 boards selling for less than $100. The nF4 is targeted at value boards, but it still includes on-chip gigabit Ethernet capabilities, support for 10 USB, full nVidia "any drive" Raid capabilities, support for nVidia Firewall 2.0, and support for the nTune Performance Utility. Four SATA drives are supported at current 1.5GB/s speeds plus four PATA (IDE) devices. The big disadvantage of the vanilla nF4 chipset is that it only supports 800 Hyper Transport. In addition, the HT bus is locked on the basic nF4 to prevent overclocking of the Hyper Transport. This means that the basic nForce4 is not a good choice for the enthusiast, who is better served by the Ultra and SLI chipsets."

anandtech article on nf4 family

definitely a good board for non overclockers who want pci-express but even with the HT bus locked most boards can hit 250+ at 4HT. does this mean the multiplier is locked for HT? no HT adjustment other than 200? definitely questions i would want answered before checking out the board.

AnandTech was wrong. There is no overclock lock on the nForce4 and nForce4-4x chipsets. Also, the nForce4 supports a 1000MHz Hyper Transport bus.
