I hate the way their northbridges and caoacitors are I would never buy a board made by intel.

does it overclock?

 

[Salvadorian Stuff]

some of them. I think just the extreme series does. My motherboard (D945pvs) doesn't overclock

hmm, looks suspiciously like a x38bt........
the reason im reluctant to upgrade is the feature set hasnt enhanced remarably from my current board...i see the emphasis on the dolby licences now...yay
my badaxe2 has the same audio...it sounds great...but just cuz you decide to market something that youve been supplying for three geneerations of extreme series boards just wont spark my interest....as far as ocing id expect nothing less than brilliant results...just like teh badaxes...bonetrail ftw

I have the bonetrail X38 and support both 45nm 65nm processors, just the fsb 1600 and memory 1600 support are different the rest is the same as mine and overall looks the same, so no upgrade for yet.
