there wouldnt be much of an overclock, i take the 63's have a multiplier of 7?

7 x 300 = 2.1Ghz, or around that mark.

Bah, I did not refresh the post before I replied and missed your helpful screen shots :(

Is it possible if one time you try clock gen mate? 2.1GHZ is about the speed of an E6600 isnt it? I suppose thats not bad... fx62 speeds :P

I cant decide if I should grab this board or if I should go with a more expensive one for overclocking :(

One thing I constantly am forgetting to ask, how do Conroes handle more than 2 sticks of ram? (4 for example) I know that the A64's have timing issues for example ...

Bah, I just realized one horrible thing about the xfire board :( it only has one IDE connector... I have 2 IDE hard drives plus a DVD rom thats EIDE :(

Means I am gonna have to cough up the extra for an PCI addon card, or grab a different motherboard, less anyone has ideas?
