I wanted `to get this board I would like to overclock it to get more value and be able to justify loosing my athlon 1700 running stable at just over 2 gig

This board seems good lot of features good price etc.

So I read some reviews found at hardocp that the board cannot lock the pci/agp bus but Rev2 may do this so it will not screw up pci cards hdisks etc.

my basic point is " Is there a rev 2 board that locks the buses when tweeking the memory speed above 200Mhz ?" I ask as CPU City sell rev2 board but Scan email back after question if theirs was rev2 quote from John "no. rev 2 boards dont actually exist. yet" I have no doubt he beleives this and is sincere.

any Ideas ? thanks in advance hope this is not the wrong place to put this.

[myth]

there are rev. 2 out...

[switchmode]

Thanks myth

What should i get wait for etc ?

I want it now...

[JimmyBoy]

get the board, u may aswell

rev 2 is out, i got mine from the evils of ocuk

[switchmode]

Yeh I may as well but if I can last out will probably wait till the end of Jan and hope for something to happen like cpu price drop as delivery could be late or difficult and I will not get much time to fiddle with my system also dont need to sort out problems with big upgrade this close to the holiday season..
