anyone ?

yup, it's pretty good for a 540Mhz FSB

Should be a nice board. My X38 (almost identical) has been a wonderful piece of hardware.

Very stable and clocks really well.

Have managed 480mhz with no chipset voltage adjustments so i'd imagine it has plenty more to give.

why are there 10+ of these stocked in the b-grade section while there are none in the main motherboard section?

@ Reality|Bites:
better ask guys from OC UK

What exactly does B-grade mean? Is it guaranteed to work? Is it like the box is torn or it's been returned and is totally untested?

it could be an RMA returned board from GigaByte(faulty board fixed) It could just be an unwanted purchase, it could have accessories missing. The driver discs are missing.
