Overclocking:

This board features all the overclocking tweaks an enthusiast will need to take his CPU to the brink! Using an Intel P4 Northwood 1.6A, we were able to attain a 150 MHz FSB or 2.4 GHz CPU speed. At 150 MHz FSB, the KingMax PC2700 memory was running at 375 MHz DDR. We were able to boot briefly at 2.56 GHz, or DDR400, before the system would crash. Thus, our overclock was limited by the memory.

On with the benchmarks!
