gotta admit, those are really nice boards... the 8 phase power regulator looks really nice 0.o Isn't the P5WDG2-WS nicer though? i think it is 0.o. Although those PCI-X slots are really useless lol

ASUS CPU Lock Free

This motherboard now offers the CPU Lock Free feature, which allows you to adjust CPU multiplier to 14x. The reduction of multiplier value provides more flexibility for increasing external FSB frequency to raise memory bus bandwidth. CPU Lock Free boosts overall system performance by making synchronous modification possible. Enjoy better performance at the same CPU operation speed and improve your system without pushing the CPU to the limit.

What is this feature?

It is taking advantage of power management, similar to SpeedStep. The higher speed 90nm Netburst CPUs have their native multiplier and 14x. Some motherboards let you manually choose 14x.

Oh... I was hoping it would be a complete override of the CPU's multi.
