Check this mobo out it is a great oc'ing mb.
Uh,What p4 2.8 do you have is it 533MHz fsb or 800MHz fsb?It does'nt matter really because that mb supports all the p4's and the prescott anyway's.It's just that I found the 800's oc alot more than the 533's,in my experiance.I had a p4 2.4b 533fsb and it would only oc to 2.87GHz. then it would get unstable anything more then that.Now my new 2.4c/800fsb this puppy ,well I've got it at 3.2GHz right now and I know it will go alot more but I dont need to go any higher than this.It does everything I need right now fast enough.Dang rambeling on here.
