    there's A2 and A3 and the A3 has a better chance at achieving a higher FSB compaired to the A2

    Such is what I expected, however I'm still held back by my RAM. I can get it to 191FSB barely stable, and 184 stable. I still think I could hit 200 given some better RAM. And either way this board is excellant, and I don't see me giving it up until after the A64 is mature and cheap (well cheaper).

    I believe the A2 had some problems with certain types of RAM. The A1 was able to hit higher FSBs than the A2 while using Kingston HyperX. There is a long thread somewhere explaining it all in detail and the steps taken to figure out what the problem was. But I'm too lazy to look for it.

    [edit]Or it could have been between the 1.0 and 1.1 A1 boards? Gah! It's been too long for this old brain to recall.[/edit]

    [edit]Found it![/edit]
