:) Yea what i meant was that this so great board was the cheapest according to the retailer and with so many features, here if u buy a cheapest board it would have only 3 PCI slots ,no AGP slot and everything onboard, while this board has 6 PCI slots, 3 DDR-SDRAM slots with 6 USB Ports and an AGP 4x Slot, with an onboard 6 Channel sound ..talk about loaded ! I am in phase of buying a new computer and well i don't think I can get a board with these many features at a price i can afford, do you ?

The thing is when you get a board FOR overclocking then it has to be good.Whatever doesnt overclock good,gets hammered around.Simple isnt it.
Soltek is a cost effective solution and not an enthusiast solution or for that matter overclocking solution. :wink:

I agreeeee ASUS ROCKSSSSS

I just love ASUS :p

i am telling you, the overlcocking features on SL-85ERV2/85ERV2-L are amazing, it lets change u the FSB in 1 Mhz increments, what other board(besides ASUS) would let u do that ?
I agree Asus rocks, but its just not affordable sometimes !

@ TechEnclave
Oh yes!!! Asus lets u increase the FSB in steps of 1 too.. Moreover, it also gives u a wide range of options for running the RAM at different % (percentage) of the CPU FSB...

U can run ur CPU at 200FSB and run the RAM at 83% of CPU FSB, which is nothing but the speed of DDR333 (166MHz).

Plus there are the usual options of Memory Timing, CPU Vcore, Vdimm et al ;)
