Basically, as far as overcloking goes it sucks. It also isn't the most stable stock, but that is more power supply dependent. The Neo2 is supposed to be better, but I'm not buying a motherboard with the name MSI on it unless many people here or at overclockers says its good. Just to let you know, in some cases, anandtech gets top top of the line cherry picked boards so the board looks good, but in most cases what you buy isn't the same. I would return it for a DFI or a Chaintech, if you have the processor already. And, whoever is selling socket A boards for $117 is ripping you of; great overclocking socket A boards are going for around $70 at newegg. Also, if you don't have any other components, I would go with a newer socket 939; at the minimum, an Epox 9NDA3J or + (I hit 2.5 ghz on a 1.8 ghz 3000+ w/ no voltage increases rather easily on this board; going to 2.7 requires more voltage but is easy as well, a good heatsink like the zalman 7000 or 7700 series helps a lot). If you don't have a graphics card, get a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D or the new chaintech.
