Bwa ha ha... I've got mine at 800Mhz stock. (not OC'd).
Note that the Athlon IDE chipset is not supported by Linux yet, so no UDMA 66
yet (i dunno if it will handle UDMA33 also... but i'm sure you can get it to
use PIO (argh!)
And i've been bugging my supplier to get me those Abit BP6's - do you have the
name of the master distributor of Abit here?
