    Any earlier & you would of only had the same few boards reviewed.
    Hard to find reviews on the cheaper boards especially.
    So if anyone has bought a Gigabyte EX58 UD3R, or a Foxconn Renaissance, tell us what you think of it.

    Ha! This forms a significant upgrade from a P4 Prescott - damned if I ain't thinking about putting it back together, it's winter here in Australia and it's COLD! - where the only way to "overclock" it was to increase the multiplier frequency.

    Now I have a bazillion options and I'm "AAAARGGHH!!" when I look at the BIOS: NFI what to do first!

    I liked that Prescott - I had it running @ 3.92 GHz on air....

    It's get a bit warm inside so I'd simply take the side of the case off and direct a small electric desk fan in I miss it
    There are only 10 types of people in the world, apparently. Those who understand this joke, and those like me who always thought it was really really lame.
