Overclocking
We have seen a few folks rumoring about Intel overclocking locks but we have yet to see any official information on this from Intel and the fact of the matter is that it does not exist on our ABIT motherboards.
I don’t want to get into an overclocking article here and now, as the CPUs we have are engineering samples. Obtaining overclocks in the 4GHz range were not an issue though. Also, we were able to scale our FSB up to 250+ while bringing the DDR2 bus up to 666MHz with all sets of DDR2 sticks in the house. So it would seem that the enthusiast fun would live on in the new enthusiast motherboards. It is certain that the ABIT retail boards have great promise of being awesome OCers now as they have in the past.
It would be my guess that many of our readers will reach 1066MHz FSB bus rates and 667MHz DDR2 speeds long before we officially see the specs on equipment and before the market officially offers 4GHz CPUs. Of course the idea is to do that as inexpensively as possible and we will certainly focus on that soon.
