i just e-mailed the abit tech support to see what they might say

i might just have to sell this board because it has limited cpu support and absolutely no vcore, fsb, vdimm, etc. settings

does anyone make an i865 board (with integrated video and nic) which allows overclocking ??

What is it running at, 100x12? It is possible to mod the chip so that it defaults to 200MHz FSB, giving you 2.4GHz.

The closest thing to what you are looking for is the MSI 865GML (something like that). It is a mATX board using the 865G chipset, very similar to your Abit board, but red colored, LOL. *Some* versions of the BIOS has overclocking features including Vcore, however reading reviews (on Newegg), many people have tried it and say that the settings don't "stick" meaning they are pretty much useless. I bought one to use in my GF's computer and have had miserable luck overclocking. Supposedly the AGP/PCI is locked, but a few MHz FSB bump on a 2.6C results in instability.

that's just too bad :(
cause the cpu can overclock to like 2.7ghz and at it's current speed it is like 30% slower than a 2000+ athlon with pc133
atleast it runs cool and quiet with this zalman round copper heatsink i got
