I have came across a web site that says it has a reversion of the p4t-e mobo by asus. They claims that this rev has a clock generator ic. And it is more expensive than the regular version by 30 dollars .
I checked asus website but couldnt find an asnwer, wrote them three days ago didnt receive any reply . Any ideas if that is true ? Is there a limited edition of this motherboard?

There are some board with better clock generators. This is not a limited version but if you want to overclock, they just make sure you get a board with the better DRCG.
You will be better off buying Abit Th7-2 from mwave. Almost all of those have ICS DRCGs.

What is the advantages of abit on asus? I have tired the asus before and it is working perfectly so i am not sure if it worths to risk with a new mobo unless it has something special about it.
All i care of is to make my 1.8a works @ 2.4

Advantages of ABIT:
You can change the fsb as well as the voltage in bios.
Better overclocker.
Cheaper.(at least compared to the ATAcom version of Asus)
Getting 1.8a at 2.4 is not a problem on either of the boards. Getting the RDRAM to run at PC1066 speeds is. And for that the better DRCGs help. Also make sure you get good rdram. People have found samsung low density RAM to be better overclocker than other brands.
