    I think what most people want to know is how well it clocks. If it clocks well, one of these and a E6300 would be a bargain and mega fast machine.

    my intersts are much more humble.

    like does it have flaws (unstable ? northbridge getting too hot? not enough space for large cpu cooler? maybe missing options in bios? other issues .. ?)

    oc'ing potential is more like a nice bonus to me

    I would say around the £80 mark give or take a bit.

    PC Pro have a review here, although you might have to log in to read it:
    www pcpro co uk/reviews/90559/foxconn-p9657aa8ekrs2h html

    You'll also have to manually edit that URL as I'm a new user so I can't post it properly until I've had 5 posts

    It's their A-listed Conroe board since 2 issues ago, which is a bit rich as you still can't buy it anywhere.

    Regards

    it looks alright. wondering how much is it?
    I don't understand there's a 8 pin female power supply socket.
    on my asrock mother board, it only have a 20pin and 4pin female socket.
    Do that mean if i want to buy this board, i got to find a swich for it.
