    xelink, almost everything you said in the last 3 or 4 posts sounds like it came directly from an A+ certification book I'm reading. I'm not saying that in an insulting way, I'm just wondering if you've read it.

    yes basically, because when runing under long mode, there's apparently a bit mroe stress on the northbridge and that limits the overclock.

    if I boot into 32bit windows I can do 3.2Ghz very easily though.

    I'm almost tempted to buy a new board though I probably won't. I'd rather put the money elsewhere, I'm about at the point where I need to buy a laptop.
