Why does everyone want the DFI board when MSI bests it on HardOCP and Anandtech

The review at HardOCP pushed the MSI board further than the DFI board for OC. They hit 375 FSB!! Geez, I gotta get rid of my A8N!

I think it may come down to people getting better results from the DFI boards after paying their own money for them and living with them long-term. MSI boards are okay but I've personally had mixed results. My MSI PT880 board runs okay as long as I learn the glitches. Had an MSI 865PE Platinum that was really glitchy, and ended up dying. Have an MSI 645E Max board that is pretty good for being so old. Have not owned any DFI boards. Lately have owned Asus, Abit, Chaintech, Epox, MSI, Albatron, Shuttle...

What good is running an FSB of 375 if a CPU cant handle it, or are you lowering the multiplier alot?

The HardOCP review LOVES the board. They run 375 with lower multipliers but still hit 2800+ mhz. So, same end speed but higher FSB doin it!
