I think, I understand what U want to say... I wanted only to show that not 
frequently commented hw could be so bad, no one use it, or so good, there are 
no (or very little) problems. Or also there is no firm which distributes 
they. :)

me too - the only one system I ever overclocked was my Mobile Athlon XP - and 
it was only partly overclocked - higher FSB and equally lower multiplier so 
CPU core runned approximately on the same frequency.

Personally, I don't like MSI very much - I know people, which has endless 
problems with MSI MB (on one case even with the 3th or 4th replaced MB). 
Gigabyte are quite good - from my point of view. And Asus is one of the best 
- but once my friend found on forums they could not be (sometimes) 
rockstable. On other hand the EPOXes were... (but it can be only the effect 
of smaller statistical set). So he bought Epox (exactly the same mentioned in 
the first mail in this thread) and he is satisfied (before he found this 
information he planed to buy some asus).

So I suppose with Epox U won't have problems (probably as same as with the 
higher asus models)
