i know we only have a view previews available (of the gigabyte, MSI and Asus boards)...and ALL of these reviews are based on early beta-bios.
I have not seen ONE review where the Asus and Gigabyte look good in terms of overclocking ! Eg. max HTT of 250, that's it. SOme boards even stop at a measly OC of 220 FSB !
The only "positive" preview regarding overclocking and Nforce 4 is the one MSI Nforce 4 preview (i think it was on www.tbreak.com) where they said it is a great overclocker. (Up to 370 HTT)
SInce i got very expensive OCZ memory and i plan (ok, i plan
) to hit at least 2600 with my A64 3500+ the Asus and GB boards are out of the question. (AT least for now 'til we get reviews with later bios).
The problem is that i really plan to overclock as far as i can and i chose all my components (high quality PSU, OCZ ram, 90nm A64 3500+) for this purpose.Also plan to get a XP-120 heatsink (or XP-90 in case it wont fit.)
Just to let you know i dont understand people ordering these boards (Asus, GB) now for $400 and not even knowing how good these boards will overclock.
I strongly tend towards the MSI right now - but we need much more reviews with "real boards".
