Intel E2140 and EVGA 680i board.

That's the board I'm talking about in Canadian dollars, which is why I'm even considering it for a budget build. Does it have a 1333FSB option that will do what I want it to do with that CPU?

Better board, better deal @ $98. Support future 45nm chips. Easy 488MHz FSB with a capable CPU.

The rebate isn't included in the listed price? That would be odd. Not to mention those are in USD anyways. I would have to sign up for that site, pay for separate shipping, pay for customs fees, etc. Do you see my point?

Can anyone answer the original question?

FYI, Canadian dollars are almost equal to US dollars (it should still be something like $1 USD = about $1.04 CND). I'm not sure if prices have adjusted, though.

 

[Ichigo]

They haven't adjusted, believe me. We're getting jipped as it is, I'm just trying to minimize the damage. Shipping across the borders would NOT help matters.

Someone should be able to help me.

So I kept researching, turns out this thing doesn't have the 1333 strap. Will conventional methods of overclocking still work well with this CPU and board?

I don't see why not, you could just set the FSB to 1333.
