why oh why go with AMD?

Indeed. Why not intel in the search for clockability?

To actually answer your question, you'll find the board alright up to around 240-250HTT I'd say. It's likely to have a bit of Vdroop, which might be a problem once increasing volts > 1.45V.

In short, for the money there are better boards around like the DFI InfinityII M2 nF4 board.

What CPU do you plan on clocking?

I have been given a 3800 X2 for free, hence the AM2 socket! - Just awaiting the motherboard to be del on monday

According to a review in Custom PC, its a poor overclocker as you cant increase the Vcore or chipset voltage, and you can only increase memory voltage to 1.92v. The maximum FSB they managed was 220Mhz

Basically no.

Especially for clocking.

I was never cool. I always had Intel CPU's and they always ran hot

if he got it for free then thats one thing...but choosing amd over intel for a new build when you are overclocking is a mistake IMO.
