I've got two of these on the way. How well do you think that they would overclock an E5200 and an E3300, both 2.5Ghz 12.5multi 200FSB CPUs. Most E5200s will go to 3.0Ghz (240FSB) without a vcore boost, so I'm hopeful that they will go that far.

I looked at the mobo manual, and it lacks vcore adjustment, so no easy way to push to 3.5Ghz or beyond. 3.0 would be good enough for me, that's a pretty trivial OC.

(I suppose if no-one answers this question, that I will answer it myself in a week.)

Also picked up two of these cases to go with them:

$35 bucks, free shipping, 250/450W PSU included. (Specs claim 250W continous, 450W peak.) Should be fine for an E5200 with chipset IGP and no video card, one HD, and one DVD drive.

Don't have an answer, but DDR3/S775 is interesting! Just nice to use cheap memory. Would be really cool if it supported S775 P4's.

Only two SATA ports? Good office board I suppose.
