Using it, and it works great. No issues whatsoever, but then again, I don't use any of the onboard stuff on my IC7 (USB/SATA/Firewire/Sound).

Just waiting for my PC4000s to come in, and will start testing/benching 1:1 ratio at 275+fsb! :D

I guess I'm a Thugs groupie... waiting to see what he says about it... I don't see it helping *me* any.... but I'm running sub 200mhz FSB anyway.

I've tried the 17 bios and it worked flawlessly first time, I have my CPU and Mem running 1:1 @ 260 @ the moment.

Can provide pics (if I can workout how to include pics ?!?)
