    what software. they pretty much all come with the same stuff. The onboard sound on the dfi is awesome. And there is no better bios than the genie which is only on DFI.

    with INT radeon x200 GFX? yeh it's a fairly good board... but you CAN OC them, just nto when you have a retarded BIOS as provided by a comp maker

    try flashing the BIOS... you should be able to OC with it.

    you can use msi's bios, but imo dont touch it, changing to a completely different bios is risky.

    you won't be flashing anything then, unless you can find a hacked 3rd party BIOS. it might run off the same BIOS as the other model, but I wouldnt' put any money on it.

    fon't f with the fxs, just get a freaking opteron 170 if your such an enthusiast. BonaFide was able to OC his opteron 170 to 2.8 ghz with only a .1 volt increase. Then again you'de likely need better ram but...

    lots of people knew about the next windows in 2002. They already started development under longhorn a long time ago. If your going to buy in december then just wait and get a conroe or something. You dont need good ram to overclock to 2.8. You just need a good mobo and chip. For example if you had a good x2 3800+ and you have a DFI. CHuck the ram down to 133, up the fsb to 280, up the vcore to 1.55. Boot it up, if it works and is stable, slowly drop the vcore until its at its lowest stable. Of course you would chuck in a few (a lot) more steps.
